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
“Something has gone wrong ☹️”
Windows13_Shutdown_Troubleshooter32.exe has stopped responding
So what happens if you kill the shut down process?
You die in real life
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…
