"Windows was not properly shut down"
I keep getting this in the Reliability Monitor, which reduces the
Reliability index. Doesn't matter how i shut down, using the Start menu button, command line, or whatever. Seems to be random though as it doesn't happen every time. Is there a way to shut the computer down that guarantees not to get this error? it shows in the Event Log as 'The last shutdown at time was unexpected' Windows does appear to shut down correctly and reboots every time but this error is annoying me! |

Try using the Taskbar Manager to ensure that all applications are closed before shutting down Windows.............Dick M |

It does appear to work correctly if I shutdown using the -f flag with shutdown.exe (to force apps to close), or use the -t flag with a couple of seconds delay (which also implies the -f flag). So it probably is a program not shutting down properly on occasion, as forcing apps to close makes it work. |

Then if it doesn't do what it claims I can do a full uninstall. |
