    This app is preventing you from restarting


    I have Windows 10 Pro preinstalled on a Dell Desktop. When I try to restart I get a warning:

    This app is preventing you from restarting" This is of little use. There is no identification of what the app is. Use of task manager does not show a currently running app. How do I determine what is stopping the restart?

    There has to be a better way than just showing an icon. This would allow unknow software to stay on a computer

    :)

    Here's the steps to update EMUI 4.1.1 to 5.0 :
    • Download the EMUI 5.0(desired version) .zip file, and unzip it.
    • Place the .hwt file in the HWThemes folder from your phone.
    • Using the Themes app, apply the new theme.
    • Restart the phone, in order to see all the new changes.
    And you’re done!
