T-Virus Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 I recently reinstalled Windows Server and applied a bunch of useful tweaks (attached) found in the unanttended part of this forum. Lately I've been noticing that Windows is shutting down way too fast. That in itself is nothing to complain about except all the applications I have left open don't have enought time to save their settings.I tried scouring Google and every page I found had you navigate to the registry hive [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] and modify three keys: AutoEndTasks, HungAppTimeout, and WaitToKillAppTimeout. My registry values:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]AutoEndTasks = 0HungAppTimeout = 5000WaitToKillAppTimeout = 20000These are the default. So now I'm stumped. Can anyone think of another place in the registry that will allow my computer to shut down so quickly?regtweaks.reg

maxXPsoft Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 You can add this, safe[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Reliability]"ShutdownDoStateSnapshot"=dword:00000002I can't find anything on this IForceShutdown and I don't have but I have XP pro[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{4F05869A-686B-45B0-90B8-82707B9A8510}]@="IForceShutdown"Be curious to know whats in that full keyYou have a CE device also with those clientshutdown.exe" entries. Did this start after that was installed or maybe Server Installs by default.Changing my ShutdownTime made no difference here.
mraeryceos Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Did anyone ever find an answer for this? After restarting Windows, Opera browser has to recover when I start it again, and Nakka CLCL didn't save it's clips.
