Windows 10: Powershell Script on Shutdown

Hi all,

I try to run a Powershell Script (*.ps1) when i shut down my PC. I created the script and it is working fine when i run it. However if i want to run it on a regular Shutdown it seems like it does not start or is not finished, before Windows is killing every running process.


I tried several things:

1) Adding the script to C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Shutdown

2) added the Script to gpedit.msc in the Shutdown section

3) Creating a scheduled Task which triggers on System User32 EventID 1074


Ether the Script is not triggering at all or Windows will kill everything before anything happens.

:)

PowerShell scripts not working with Call operator

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while developing a PowerShell script using the Call operator. I would suggest you to refer the articles

The Windows PowerShell ISE.



However, as the issue is related to developing PowerShell scripts, I would suggest you to post your query on

MSDN forums, where we have expertise and developers who are well equipped with the knowledge of developing PowerShell scripts in Windows.
