Shutdown Bat File

Hello, everyone. From online research and my own experience I know that
a number of processes and apps on a Windows 10 platform can delay, and
at worst, prevent platform shutdowns (forcing one to hold down the power
button for turn-off). I've created the following batch file (must be
run as administrator) to solve that problem on a Dell laptop that gets
around this issue and would appreciate your thoughts:

@echo off
net stop COMSysAPP
net stop SENS
shutdown /s /t 001

I'm not saying this will solve all delayed shutdown issues but it does
work for me with no ostensible ill effects. Thanks for your time.

Did you try /f first ?

There must be some way to do it, without naming and shaming
individual items.

Thanks for the prompt replay, Paul. Executing just shutdown /f on my
platform results in a sign-out (logout) rather than shutdown, with
considerable delay until the login screen appears. Sincerely,

Some mo shutdown /s /f results in a display of a default time until
the shutdown process begins. That is on top of the other
behind-the-scenes reasons for the shutdown delays. Sincerely,

Thanks Paul & J.B. Wood for re-visiting shutdown efficiency.

Last we looked at this issue on Win10, I think, was 7/16/18:

Windows Central noted the distinction between real shutdown & faststartup:
o How to disable Windows 10 fast startup (and why you'd want to)
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-windows-10-fast-startup
"With fast startup enabled, choosing to shut down your PC might look like
you're completely shutting things down, but in reality, your PC is entering
a mix between a shutdown and hibernation."

There is also this article from LifeHacker for "real" shutdown:
o Flip Off 'Fast Startup' to Force Windows 10 to Shut Down for Real
https://lifehacker.com/shutting-down-windows-10-doesnt-actually-shut-down-wind-1825532376

This shows how to make a shortcut for a "real" shutdown:
o Shutting Down Doesn¢t Fully Shut Down Windows 10 (But Restarting Does)
https://www.howtogeek.com/349114/shutting-down-doesnt-fully-shut-down-windows-10-but-restarting-it-does/
shutdown /s /f /t 0

Or, to prevent updates from installing during a shutdown:
o How to Shut Down a Windows PC Without Installing Updates
https://www.howtogeek.com/268982/how-to-shut-down-a-windows-pc-without-installing-updates/
shutdown -s -t 0

The PowerShell also comes with shutdown cmdlets, apparently:
o How Many Ways to Shut Down and Restart Your Windows 10 Computer
https://www.nextofwindows.com/ways-to-shut-down-and-restart-your-windows-10-computer
Stop-Computer -ComputerName "Server01", "Server02", "Server03"
Restart-Computer -ComputerName "Server01, "Server02", "Server03"
In addition to SysInternals tools such as PsShutdown, with more switches:
psshutdown -r - to reboot after shutdown
psshutdown -s - to shut down without poweroff
psshutdown -f - to force running applications to close
psshutdown -a - to abort a shutdown
psshutdown -h - to hibernate the computer
psshutdown -k - to poweroff the computer
psshutdown -o - to logoff the console user
psshutdown -e - to shutdown with a reason code.

If you run these from the command line, it's useful to be admin:
o Winkey+R cmd Control+Shift+Enter ----- runs as admin
o Winkey+R powershell Control+Shift+Enter ==== runs as admin

Anything else to share with others for this Windows-10 shutdown Potluck?

KillSomeRuuning Tasks.bat
Hi J.B.,

As Paul points off, you forgot "/f" to force off programs.

I have a similar situation where I need to kill running programs that
are not VSS friendly.


echo off

:: kill off select running taks that do not respond to Volume Shadow
copy Service (VSS)

msg * /TIME 7 Killing off selective tasks that are not Volume Shadow
copy Service (VSS) Friendly
echo Killing off selective tasks that are not Volume Shodow copy Service
(VSS) Friendly
echo.

echo Asking nicely...
taskkill.exe /IM chrome.exe
taskkill.exe /IM brave.exe
taskkill.exe /IM firefox.exe
taskkill.exe /IM thunderbird.exe
taskkill.exe /IM QBW32.EXE
echo.
echo.

echo Sleeping for 10 seconds
timeout /T 10

echo Cutting their legs off
taskkill.exe /IM chrome.exe /f
taskkill.exe /IM brave.exe /f
taskkill.exe /IM firefox.exe /f
taskkill.exe /IM thunderbird.exe /f
taskkill.exe /IM QBW32.EXE /f
echo.

echo Sleeping for 1 seconds
timeout /T 1
/KillSomeRuuning Tasks.bat



Also, not what you asked, but there is a GUI utility for this
that I adore called Power Off:
