The Windows 10 operating system has been created in a way that allows us to be attentive to the security of everything we run in it, a proof of this is to prevent the current session from being shut down, restarted or closed, losing work that we have already opened that when you try to shut down or restart the operating system and we are with some applications running or active, that have not been closed in the normal way, you are at the time of receiving the order from Windows 10 for shutdown , the operating system will deploy a message indicating that a number of applications, indicating their name, are open and we could lose the work done on them..
Although the natural thing is that we turn off the equipment when we know that everything is closed, by accident we can press the equipment shutdown button or click on the restart or logout icon and lose everything that has been worked in a while, if We haven't saved it before.
Windows 10 gives these applications considerable time to close, so that they omit what they are doing and save the data, but when any of these applications do not generate a response to Windows 10, a message similar to this is created:
The same happens with the actions to be executed as off:
We can see that it is indicated in the message that these applications prevent the system from executing the order and we can return to the session and save the work that is active. If we do not take any action in 1 minute, Windows 10 will automatically cancel the restart, shutdown or exit by default..
Now, if we are sure that we always keep our work and we do not want the team to be active for this cause, we will see how to automatically close these applications and allow the defined action to be fulfilled.
