Abort Windows Shutdown Using Shortcut
| Posted by watashii | Filed under Programming
This follows on from the previous post on how to force shutdown your Windows machine using a shortcut. This post shows how to cancel / stop Windows from shutting down after launching the shutdown command (eg by accident).
To create this shortcut, open Notepad, and add the following line of text, then save it with a .bat extension. You need to hit the shortcut quickly if you want to abort in time.
shutdown.exe -a
Where:
-a abort shutdown
