Windows 10: unknown program preventing shutdown

this program is preventing my every shutdown for quite some time now. i have already checked the control panel : programs and the startup page in task manager, to get rid of programs and apps i dont need.


In the task manager Startup tab, there are all normal processes you'd expect, except for one. it just says program, no information about it, can't do much more about it than just click disable (says startup impact is None, and its icon is just a blank page)


any idea what else i could do, as uninstalling programs i dont need, and checking the startup tab, didnt help me much?

Unknown Program Preventing Shutdown and Updates

There is an unknown program preventing my computer from shutting down. When I click shutdown it says "This app is preventing shutdown" but there is only a generic app icon, and no name for the app. I have to select "shutdown anyway" which isn't allowing
Windows Updates to be installed.

I've checked forums and could not find a solution which worked for me.

Task Manager tells me there are no program running. There are no "blank" programs on my app list in control panel. I've used sfc /scannow
in the Command Window and it came back negative. I've turned off all Non-Windows programs for start-up that I don't need (I have a couple drivers which are necessary for my computer).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Program "G" preventing shutdown, what is that?

I have noticed that when I restart or shutdown there is always an unknown program named "G" preventing it. I have seen others with this same thing, and so far it doesn't seem to be malicious, as I have done a full scan of my computer. So my question is,
what is this?
