    With this batch script you can automatically close apps not responding at shutdown in windows. Please execute the batch script as a administrator.

    Why manually add the registry changes when batch script do it automatically for you. Only reason i have created this batch script so i would not have to explain step by step how to add those registry values manually. You can right click the batch script and click Edit to view its source code.
