abort shutdown command does not show any message

I created a shutdown task in task scheduler to e.g. shutdown daily at 12am etc..

Code:

C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe

with arguments

Code:

/s /t 60 /c "Shutdown in 60 seconds"

I also added a shortcut in taskbar to abort this

Code:

C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /a

The problem is I would like a message prompt to show that the shutdown has been aborted when clicking the abort shortcut in the taskbar.. just to confirm that the shutdown has been aborted.
In previous windows 7, the aborted message will automatically pop up in taskbar notification area..
but in windows 10 there is not such message.
I tried adding the same /c comment option but it does not work...
when tested in cmd or by running the shortcut.
e.g.

Code:

C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /a   /c "Shutdown aborted"

Any solution to this problem?

Hi,

I would use something along theses lines:

Code:

@Echo off
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /a
if %errorlevel%==0 goto success 
goto faillure
:success
C:\Windows\System32\msg.exe YourUserName "Shutdown Aborted !"
goto Eof
:Faillure
C:\Windows\System32\msg.exe YourUserName "No Shutdown in Progress."

@Try3, I have it present in my 21H2 and tested the cmd before Posting...

I also have it in my unaltered 21H2 VM...
