re: Unable to shut down/restart Windows Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 7:37 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by bikash (1 messages posted) I got a solution where you do not need to force shutdown. Go to task manager go to last tab log off the particular user you will again get same alert, but after clicking it, start log off process will start now. you will be able to shut down after logging off. Hope it will help until microsoft do not solve the root cause.
