Spined Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 I am pretty new to AutoIt, so don't blame me if it's something very easy everybody should know... I want that my script cancels all shutdowns and makes it impossible to shutdown. Its for a back-up program. I've already seen some programs that use the Windows 10 Update screen for their use. It would be awesome if there was any possibility where i could create my own "update screen". For all those who don't know which update screen I mean: I am talking about the one that appears after you press "shut down" and windows starts to install the updates. And I know how to make the program "prevent" the shutdown, but you can still press "shut down anyway", and i don't event want this screen to appear. Thank you for helping !!!

careca Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Well, what about keeping a loop trying to detect the window you mentioned, and close it as soon as it appears? It'd be very fast, not enough time for anyone to click on it.

So i have to block the shutdown before...
careca Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) At this point only option i can think of is repeatedly send "shutdown -a" or /a Edited September 25, 2017 by careca Reveal hidden contents Renamer - Rename files and folders, remove portions of text from the filename etc. GPO Tool - Export/Import Group policy settings.

And you can't cancel it when the user initiates the shutdown via the shutdown button... There has to be a way to solve this... maybe with DLLs ? I want to cancel the shutdown, then let my program backup some files and then continue the shutdown. How can i access the maintenance mode in windows ?
careca Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 What about the option in the group policy? gpedit.msc Spined 1 Reveal hidden contents Renamer - Rename files and folders, remove portions of text from the filename etc. GPO Tool - Export/Import Group policy settings.

But I am definetly going to try this out when I am at home with my Win10 Pro Computer. gpedit.msc is only available for Win7/8/10 Pro... I'll give a update if it works
AdamUL Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Have a look at the example in the help file for_WinAPI_ShutdownBlockReasonCreate. Adam
