Can't shutdown Windows?

Sometimes Windows refuses to shutdown in a normal way, because it couldn't close some running application. There are two solutions for this situation:

  1. find and close that application
  2. or force Windows to shutdown

I'll show you the second solution.

Open command prompt (Start >> Accessories >> Command Prompt) and type this command:
shutdown -s -f -t 0

Explanation:
-s - shutdown computer
-f - forces running applications to close without warning
-t - set timeout for shutdown in xx seconds
0 - shutdown immediately (but you can enter time in seconds if you want to delay shutdown)

WARNING: save all your work, before you hit this command.
