Autolt v3 stop Windows 10 from shutting down.

Thanks for checking this, unfortunately it is saying what we already know, so not really of help hehe..

Well ok, before i give up and say that its better to just wait 2 weeks for the new release, here two more attempts:


First, please creating a text file on your computer, copy this to it and then rename it to .reg and doubleclick.

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\ExcludedApplications]
"exe_manager.exe"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\ExcludedApplications]
"FFAStrans.exe"=""

If above still dont work, we have one more try. But be aware that this will automatically close all apps that want to prevent shutdown. So when you hit the shutdown, it would also automatically kill text editors or word documents that are unsaved. So only do this when you really don't care if unsaved documents are lost when you shutdown.

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"AutoEndTasks"="1"

Ok cool, that was my goal with the registry keys.

Man that was really a hard sunday... I found some machine where i was able to reproduce your issue. Then we spent about 8 manhours together to pin down the issue, it was still there in the Version 1.2.
Anyway, we eventually were able to fix it, so you can count on the New Version

By the way, it didnt seem to happen when we install the Service.

Yeah hard to explian. Talking straight forward: the external JSON Library we are using a million times while the application is running and jobs process was causing this error - but as you already know, only in the time window of "while windows is shutting down".
So there is nothing else you can currently do about it than exactly what you already do - ignore the error (or run as service but then you cannot work with mapped network drives anymore and have to use full UNC paths instead)

Perfect. Thank you for the update.
