I would give the other 3 options mentioned in the first guide:

• STEP 3: Use HitmanPro to scan for malware and unwanted programs
• (Optional) STEP 4: Reset the browser settings to their original defaults
• (Optional) STEP 5: Double-check for malicious programs with Zemana AntiMalware
  

a go.

And I would start with Step 4, resetting your browser

Hello, ChiliJoe

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Hello, I'm sorry to hear about your situation, you seem to be getting a shutdown inquiry popup from an application when your computer shuts down.

I can't seem to find the .shar program running on my computer.In order to help you better, I will first provide you some suggestions to troubleshoot some of the causes:

1. You can press ctrl+alt+delete before shutting down, open Task Manager to find the corresponding shar application, right-click to end it and see if the shutdown popup still appears.

2. Try shutting down your computer after a clean start and see if the popup still pops up.

Disclaimer: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background service is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.

These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by step so that it will help you get back on track.

3. Since this seems to be a reminder to save data, you can find this app and close it to see if it still pops up.

You can continue to share some information here and I will continue to do some research for you based on your replies.

Thank you for your time and effort in resolving this issue.



Best regards
