    Strange programs show up in the "these programs are preventing shutdown" screen.


    Programs such as "cthotkeycallback" and others that I can't remember at the moment frequently appear on that screen and I can't find anything about them online. I can attach a picture of them if need be. Anyone seen this before?

    Programs not showing up in "programs" HTC HD

    It's strange that the software is not showing up in the list of installed programs. This is what you can do. In File Explorer, copy the program icon and paste it to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder.

    Unknown Program Preventing Shutdown and Updates

    There is an unknown program preventing my computer from shutting down. When I click shutdown it says "This app is preventing shutdown" but there is only a generic app icon, and no name for the app. I have to select "shutdown anyway" which isn't allowing
    Windows Updates to be installed.

    I've checked forums and could not find a solution which worked for me.

    Task Manager tells me there are no program running. There are no "blank" programs on my app list in control panel. I've used sfc /scannow
    in the Command Window and it came back negative. I've turned off all Non-Windows programs for start-up that I don't need (I have a couple drivers which are necessary for my computer).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Strange programs show up in the "these programs are preventing shutdown" screen.

    Uninstall a program that doesn't show up?

    I downloaded and installer a Program(YouTubeToMP4). It went to Programs (x86) and does not show up on the Uninstall list.

    Any suggestions?
