I hear Windows 12 will come with a virtual shutdown assistant to help solve this sort of complex user interaction challenge.
Its response:
run the shutdown troubleshooter
Windows didn’t find any problem
was this helpful? [no/no]
doesn’t respond and closes aggressively
Please complete this short survey to indicate how your shutting down experience was
Opens the window store app
Windows13_Shutdown_Troubleshooter32.exe has stopped responding
“Something has gone wrong ☹️”
This reminds me of when windows updates tries to reboot my pc and it will close everything EXCEPT notepad. I always found it funny that of all the applications running notepad is the only one it can’t.
Well until very recently it didn’t have any auto-save functionality, so it was probably trying to avoid losing unsaved changes
All it had to do was hit ctrl-s…
So what happens if you kill the shut down process?
You die in real life
