[SOLVED] Waiting for backgound programs to close

[yossibac]

Upon shutting down PC I get the message “Waiting for background programs to close” for 2-3 seconds.
Windows 7 Home don't specify what program.
How to find out what is it and how to stop it?
I know I'm not running any programs and Task Manager has no applications showing also.
Thanks for your thoughts.

This is absolutely normal operation and doesn't need to be "stopped". That notice is triggered because one or more applications took a moment or two longer than the system thought they should so brought up the screen to show them to you. In the meantime they exited normally. This is not a problem that needs to be fixed.

It happens every day (every time)
I know I'm not running any programs and Task Manager has no applications showing also. So basically nothing should be running.
It happens also when fresh start up and shut down the PC?

Still not a problem that needs to be fixed. This is perfectly normal operation.

Yes, this is not a very serious issue. It may just be a glitch in your OS, or it could be a background process that isn't important enough to be specified. I would not be worried about this, just click force shutdown each time.

Problem in addition PC become extremly slow, and non responsive. I'm thinking now it's time to formate the hard drive.

Formatting the PC's C: HD solved that problem
