.NET framework prevents shutdown after Win8.1 -> Win10 upgrade

I have tried running this multiple times as admin (with reboots in between) but it hasn't fixed the issue for me unfortunately. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I am having the same problem with shutdown and restart. I have tried running multiple times as admin and still get 'Microsoft .net framework This app is preventing you from restarting' message and have to press Restart anyway button.

Any body have any suggestions?

This works! What exactly does this file run?

I don't think the problem is with .Net but the app. that uses it closes without disposing the framework components it used (commonly known as a memory leak)

To see which apps use .Net i...

Command prompt:

Code:

tasklist /m "mscor*"

Then by trial and error end it's process tree before restarting and see which one is the culprit.

Thanks Superfly - is there a script or anything I can run to automatically force-close the offending program when shutting down?

Logging in to give credit to this solution. this batch file doesn't solve the root cause, only automates the killing of any offending process that is preventing the shutdown/restart . Good enough for me. :)
