    Weird app name preventing shutdown

    No app name preventing windows shutdown

    Hi,

    Sometimes recently when shutting down windows I receive the message stating “the app is preventing shutdown”.
    However, there is no name to this app and the event viewer does not highlight any application causing this issue.

    I see this is quite a common error and can happen due to background tasks.

    Is this anything to be concerned about?
