That’s one thing Microsoft can’t do: give us a check box that says “always do this” on some of the shut down hangs. My audio drive does it here and there…not enough of an issue to go mess with it. Still, my computer will patiently wait for me to click the damn button.

There some kind of solution involving legacy windows tools straight from windows 7 or older. I had that issue with an early version of Nvidia Broadcast and I found a way to always kill the process when I want to shut down the computer. I remember it being an actual feature, albeit buried in the aforementioned legacy menus.

Interesting, I’ll have to take a gander. Thanks!

Hi, it’s a new day and I can think a bit clearer now. I remember what the setup was. It’s not entirely an automatic feature.
What I did was create a simple one line batch script that kills a process with a specific name, in my case Nvidia Broadcast. Then, I used Windows’ task scheduler, to automatically run this script when I shut down to computer.
