Windows 10: Keep a program open after shutting down Win 10

I want to find the programs that i leave running after the shutdown still open

:)

 

Win 10 closing and open programs

In my experience both Win 7 and Win 10 work the same way.

When you tell Windows to shut down it tells any open programs to shut down. Any that are slow(ish) shutting down are shown on the screen as you describe. As they shut down they are removed from the screen. If there are none that refuse to shut down then
windows continues the shutdown sequence, as you describe for Win 10.

Any that fail to shut down cause Windows to pause the shutdown sequence and display the problem programs to you - as you describe Win 7 doing and as my Win 10 did yesterday evening when doing the monthly updates.

 

win 10 will not shut down properly

Hi Richard,

Usually, this issue occur due to outdated or corrupted device drivers, services or processes which are not shutting down properly, or third-party programs that prevents your computer to shut down properly. For better assistance, we'll be needing additional
information:

• Have you made any recent changes on your computer prior to the issue?
• Is this an error message Explorer\windows\settingsync\BackgroundUploadTask? If yes, where are you getting this message?
• If possible, can you send us a screenshot?

Meanwhile, we suggest that you run the Power troubleshooter as an initial troubleshooting step. To run the Power troubleshooter, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X and select Settings.
• Choose Update & Security from the list.
• Click Troubleshoot in the left pane of the window.
• Under Find and fix other problems, select Power
  and click Run the troubleshooter.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.
