When a user shuts down normally via the Start menu on a domain joined computer, what happens first, a) attempt to close apps running in the background or b) disconnect from the server?
The reason I ask is that we run a small portable app on a server share when the user logs in.
On shutdown, normal behavior by all but a tiny number of users is that the app terminates silently (it intercepts the Windows shutdown signal and ends) and the PC shutdown continues normally.
For a few, it's obvious to me that the network connection is terminated and Windows throws a message box with 0xc00000c4, STATUS_UNEXPECTED_NETWORK_ERROR, because the app can't shut itself down as it "doesn't exist", as it sees it.
So, it there a set sequence of events, or is it, um, who knows what and when in which order?
Thanks, that makes sense. It looks like the affected PCs have some processes involving multi-function devices (copier, printer, etc.) that take a long time to terminate. – SKidd – 2019-06-29T07:53:35.443
