joddle Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Every time I shut down my PC running W10 64bit I get the message saying one item is still running - it appears to be the control panel from the little icon but I dont have it running. I normally ensure everything is shut down before I close down the PC but every time this one item still remains waiting to be shut down which means I can't simply leave the PC to shut as I have to wait and then confirm Why does it do this? and how do I stop it?.

ExTS Admin AWS Posted April 18, 2018 ExTS Admin Posted April 18, 2018 Do you know the name of the file? Can you get copy the name of the file and post it next time that happens?

Rustys Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 When you shut down are you still running anything or have just gotten to the desktop and not given the system a few minutes to completely shut off the programs that were running.

joddle Posted April 18, 2018 Author Posted April 18, 2018 This is what I see - As far as I can tell everything is shut down before I ask it to close and I always get this message. Quote
joddle Posted April 19, 2018 Author Posted April 19, 2018 It seems this icon is not for the control panel as I thought but for the task host (whatever that is!) - but I stll cant stop it appearing every time I shut down. Quote
