One thing that bugs me is: when I close down the computer it says to close the programs that are preventing the computer from shutting down but never states what those programs are.

“close the programs that are preventing the computer from shutting down but never states what those programs are”

Win10 tells me what programs are blocking shutdown. What bugs me is when you can’t delete a file because some program is using it but they don’t say which one. One of the biggest jobs of an OS is to keep track of who is using what resources. I sometimes close all open programs and it is still being used by some service or something. Drives me crazy.

Get up, walk away, have a smoke and when you get back, it’ll be closed. Mine are usually gadgets running on the L/S of the screen: CPU Usage, Rolex Watch, Calendar, Weather. Only happens once-in-a-while.
