Not a BSOD but application error on shutdown

Hi

I got one of those the last time I shut my computer down.
It was the first time I've seen it.

I have restored my Windows 10 install since then (for a different reason, I had a software install that when bad and I wanted to clear it out) but it will be interesting to see if it happens again and when.

Hi

Since I restored my install from my System Image file I haven't seen it again.
We'll see what happens, it could be that I've gone back before an update that causes this.

I'll check and see if I have an Update and maybe that will indicate if the update is the problem.

I did have one occurence as described in VM. However, I added these entries to the registry and have not seen it happened again. If you wish, you can try copy/paste and save as reg file then merge to the registry the following. Either way, it would not hurt but in fact it speeds up the shutdown process:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
