I have three things running on the Gadget Bar and that is the Weather app, Daemontools app, and TuneUp 2011. The weather app is the one that seems to be holding up the shutdown.

Beyond not using the damn weather app, does anyone know of a fix for this?

This is probably the longest I've ever had a Windows machine run without having to restore it to scratch. I'm used to restoring to "factory" about every 2 yrs. I've run with Win7 since new in 2009 and only recently (Nov, '14) restored to clean up the machine from all my 'xperimenting. LOL!! I may never need another machine.

Upgraded to 10 when it was still free, then installed 2017 update.

I'm using the only one that came with Windoze. The most popular one I found was weatherbug and IIRC back in the day, they used to be shady somewhat.

I use WeatherPro, and it works fine for me. I remember the WeatherBug thingy from the early '90s when it was loaded with spyware and the like...
