Powershell window preventing shutdown
- by FrinkTheBrave
If I have a PowerShell window (at the PS command prompt) on display it prevents the computer shutting down.
i.e. if I open a powershell window and then try to shutdown the server, I get the End Program popup saying Windows cannot end this program
I get the same result if I start the powershell from the start menu, from a cmd prompt and from a shortcut with -NoExit specified.
Any ideas how I can get shutdown to automatically close a powershell window (if it is at the PS prompt) in the same way as it would for a CMD window?
Alternatively, is it possible for PowerShell to detect when a shutdown has been initiated and therefore close itself?
