    This App is preventing shutdown message.

    *Original Title: This is preventing shutdown message.

    When I shutdown I get the message "this app. is preventing shutdown". Last night it showed 'DDES window'. I can't find what DDES window is. I went through the msconfig list and I don't see anything that seems to match. What is DDES window?

    one ap;p is preventing shutdown in windows 10 how do I get rid of the app

    App preventing shutdown after 10/2017 Windows 10 update

    After updating this month to the 10/2017 Windows 10 update, I am getting the following message each time I shutdown: "Reset TocuhPad this app is preventing shutdown"

    Obviously the word TouchPad is misspelled as "TocuhPad"

    I ran Regedit and found a reference to the misspelling; however, I don't seem to be able to edit it. Of course, I don't know if this reference is the problem.

    Any suggestions? Right now I just instruct the computer to shutdown by ignoring the app. But it is an extra step that I didn't have to take before and would like to correct.
