    Program manager prevents shut down

    I first wrote about this problem in AUGUST of 2015! I have followed the steps and suggestions on this thread, as well as others I had found from people with the same issue. The message still shows up, and I have been keeping track over the last couple
    of weeks when I shut down. It takes from 3 to 10 seconds from when the message shows for my PC to shut down. I can't believe that 6 months after it was first noticed that there hasn't been some suggestion, patch or information given that could correct this.

    Toshiba Flash Cards Preventing Shut Down Windows 10 latest update

    Hi David,

    The app might be causing conflicts within the system, preventing it from shutting down. May we know if you have followed the steps marked as answers in this thread to disable the app from startup?

    Also, since the app or program is from Toshiba, we recommend that you contact them for assistance with the program preventing your computer from shutting down.

    If you are eager to uninstall the program, you may do so by following the steps below:

    • Select the Start button, then select Settings
      > Apps.
    • Choose the program you want to remove, and then select Uninstall.

    If you have other questions, feel free to ask us.

    Program Manager is preventing shut down

    unknown program preventing win 10 from shutting down

    Windows 10 Professional 17134

    For most of the time, I have this notice saying "the following programs are preventing system from shutting down", or some messages like that, when I try to shut down the system, and in the list, there is always a program with blank name and very general
    icon (literally a window, low resolution). I have no idea what program this is, I tried to find it in process, but there seems no such program. Is there a way to find what program this is? A log tool perhaps? Thank you.
