    G app is preventing from restarting


    Each time I want to shutdown or restart the computer I get this annoying message.
    How do I get rid of it?

    Kill hanging apps:

    Shutdown time

    You'd better check your running processes and see if you can identify the app.

    Looks like a lot of apps running as G,but none of them are viruses,malware,those are known apps...
    I can't shut them off,because I need them.
    It seems that it is linked to some DLL in WinSxS folder...still dunno how to get rid of it...

    It’s a bug in the way the Blocked Shutdown Resolver pulls the name of the program blocking a shutdown, and “G” may result when there’s a GDI+ program (a program that draws stuff on the screen) that turns belly up as you’re shutting down.
