How can i stop System Shutdown

[riahc3]

sometimes when i end a process (i think svchost or something) it does a automatic shutdown. can i prevent this or somehow stop it.......

Why the hell would you end svchost in the first place ? Its used to manage services on your PC. It would be like saying "when I unplug the powercord my pc shuts down, how can I prevent this".

The solution : leave svchost alone.

shutdown -a - From the command prompt

Although what Platinum says is true, and its kind of pointless to kill all your services.

It's supposed to be there, leave it alone.

wow *calls some firemen to stop the flames*

I know but this one time my svchost.exe went up to 100% and i had to kill it so i just wanna know. I know i shouldnt touch it as it has something to do with my network.

well if you really want a serious reply, here...

The svshost that you killed and causes the computer to want to restart is running the RPC service. If for some reason you really want to kill it and have it just start back up again and not have your computer automatically restart all the time, here's how.

Start | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services

Double Click Remote Procedure Call (RPC) go to the Recovery Tab, and change all to "Restart the service"

Click OK

Most of the time you can do a shutdown -a from the command prompt. This will terminate the shutdown, but your computer won't function correctly without svchost.

after i kill svchost and i stop the shutdown process is there any way i can restart svchost.exe

EDIT: besides zombie's way........

This will only cause problems later... Try to solve the problem, instead of using a workaround. If one of your services is eating all your CPU cycles, look for an update or a MSKB article. Much better than messing with what you don't know :rolleyes:
