    Aaah, ok. Wel that is a puzzler. The black continue/cancel screen should stay for quite some time. THough it is dependant on the application blocking the shutdown. If the app that blocks it long enough for it to come up then instantly unblocks it there might not be much you can do :/

    Is this a problem with a specific program?

    There may be other ways to tackle the issue such as creating an "event" that you can trigger either on shutdown to take care of some kind of app cleanup or to specifically close an app then wait then shutdown the system. Would something like that work? (I've had to use that method to kill a troublesome sound driver on shutdown before)
    This problem happen every software/application.

    That was my 1st thought as well...To me it's like stopping the bullet after the sniper pulled the trigger.

    Be aware of what you're doing...if you click that button make sure that it is, what you really want. It's just a frame of mind I guess.

    If you goof off with a circular saw you might lose a finger or more.

    Well, I've found a solution to it, after many trails. You simply press the Esc button repeatedly, and it seems it overrides the shutdown process and cancels it.

    Bandara,

    That sounds more like a application/program issue that with the Abort shortcut. The Abort shortcut has no affect on programs though.

    In addition, you might consider using a Shut down shortcut that has a time delay. This way after you click on the Shut down shortcut, you will have more of a time delay to be able to click on the Abort shortcut if needed to stop the Shut down.
    I started a new thread on that... then I found this thread. There is no way to be fast enough to stop a win7 shutdown... all that is needed is a delay added to the shutdown process with a confirmation dialog to OK or Cancel... I find hard to believe the developers did not see that need as the shutdown button can be clicked inadvertently or hastily.
