Thanks for your patience and detailed explanation! Sorry I didn't examine your screenshot more carefully. ;-} Many thanks also for your comprehensive PowerShell script! I did in fact search the tutorials but got no hits, but I wasn't aware of the Tutorial Index. Thanks for the tip!

Perhaps that tip was correct after all. Using the following command: C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /s /c "manual shutdown" I don't see the /c text anywhere. Neither in the Event Viewer (screenshot attached), nor with either of the following commands: Get-WinEvent -ProviderName...

Absolutely correct, thanks! I can't find where I saw that, but Event viewer can also be run for viewing without admin privileges, if you know where you need to look.

Fortunately I haven't had any problems with applications not exiting gracefully in a short time since I got rid of MS365 Outlook. The problems may have been due to GWSMO rather than Outlook itself.

Thanks for the tips! I purposely left out /f & /t 0 because I want to give any open applications a chance to exit gracefully (although I always close everything visible before shutdown anyway). What I have read about the shutdown command says that /c only works from an admin account; I am almost...

I shut down by Typing Alt-F4 and then holding shift down while clicking the OK button in the resulting dialog: After starting the PC again, this PowerShell command confirmed that I had indeed started from a complete shutdown (type 0x0): Get-WinEvent -ProviderName Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-boot...

Thanks for the quick response. I assume that you mean I should hold down the shift key while I pick shutdown from the Alt-F4 menu. Is there a way to tell if the PC is *really* shutdown? The red LED on the cover turns off, even if I don't use the shift key. I am also missing the earlier option...

I usually use my Lenovo X1 2-in-1 on AC power and shut it down via the shutdown option in the Alt-F4 menu. After I did so recently I disconnected the laptop from AC power and left it in storage for a few days. When I retrieved it, the battery was almost fully discharged, so it evidently had...

Thanks, but I am reluctant to run a privileged Powershell script, much less publish the very extensive results, I am not experiencing crashes, much less a BSOD. Is there something specific you are looking for?

There are so many errors in the Event Viewer I wouldn't know where to start:

I think you have a point. I could see a reference to the Lenovo (Intel) WiFi module (whose driver was recently updated) in today's toast. I tried to capture it in a screenshot, but no joy. When I opened devmgmt.msc (as an unprivileged user, therefor read-only) to examine the driver, closing it...

I don't find Windows.SystemToast.CapabilityAccess on my system, but all 3 boxes under Additional settings are unticked. I have increased the timeout to 15 seconds as you suggest. Maybe that will help me understand what's going on. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks, but I don't think that's the issue. I don't get a "Let's finish setting up your device" dialog, just a brief popup at lower right. It also doesn't appear at every startup, but often enough to be annoying. I have already changed the settings as indicated in the tutorial and when I check...

Almost every time I start up my Lenovo X1 running build 26200.7623, a "toast" pops up at the lower right with a message like the title of this thread. It goes away almost immediately. If I happen to be quick enough to click on it before that, nothing happens. I haven't installed any new devices...

Does this update fix the annoying problem of context menu failure on desktop links whose target file has been replaced?
