Critical Error on shutdown or restart

All of a sudden every time I restart or reboot windows gives me a critical error notification. The screen goes blank by that point so I cannot see what the error is. Are there logs of these errors I can look at. Where do I start?

Event viewer should show you any errors, also you could try Whocrashed (assuming it's a bluescreen error)

Try to see if it is a recently installed software or Windows Update that caused it. If you have system restore enabled, maybe go back to a time when you didn't get the critical stop sound.

 

I am guessing it is the sound you hear when an app crashes (or is forced stopped) which usually also pauses shutdown or reboot. It is the most annoying thing to discover hanged programs (even file explorer) when rebooting or shutting down Windows :| 

I found out what it is. I use the Electric Sheep screen saver and once in a while my Eset (not so) Smart Security blocks a URL it is trying to reach and Windows gives me the critical error sound. How can I get Eset to stop blocking certain sites?

    • Nothing inherently wrong, but why buy 2021 tech in 2025? Assuming you were aiming for 6-10 years of usage, better to buy something current.
    • I have begun using Windows 11 native passkey feature. i have four passkeys set up so far. Three work fine, One has never worked. I have removed it and recreated it several times, still no luck. Anyway, on the websites in which it works, it works geat. No more two 2FA.
    • No, because most people coming into the workforce are already familiar with either MS Office or Google Docs. You know, from schools. Also, OnlyOffice is Russian, which should be a nogo for almost any European government
