Windows 7 Home Premium hanging on shutdown


Recommended Posts

I installed my 64bit audiophile 2496 drivers in Windows 7 Home Premium. After pressing shut down or restart, all my applications are closed but it hangs on the shut down screen.

With some research I found the solution as stated below...

M-Audio audiophile Delta 249 conflict Joepsz, a poster to Microsoft?s TechNet forums, has discovered a fix that involves stopping the ?Audiosrv? and ?AudioEndpointBuilder? processes associated with the M-Audio audiophile Delta 249, which exhibits a conflict with Windows 7. The fix is as follows:

1. Create a .bat file (create txt file and change extention to .bat)

2. Right Click on file > ?edit? and enter following info:

* net stop ?Audiosrv?

* net stop ?AudioEndpointBuilder?

3. Save file as ?Audio stop?(or whatever you want) to your main drive ie: C:\Audio stop

4. Open ?run? from start menu and enter ?gpedit.msc? (without quotes) and hit ?OK?

5. Now navigate from right pain of window ?User Configuration? > ?Windows Settings? > ?scripts (Logon/Logoff)? > ?Logoff?

6. From window that opens from clicking ?Logoff? Click ?Add? then browse to where you saved ?Audio Stop.bat? earlier and double click on it.

7. Hit ?Apply? and close.

The problem is that Home Premium version doesn't have the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) program, and there doesn't appear to be any other way to create a logon or logoff script.

Does anyone know a way around this?

Thanks

yxz, I tried to run that command but unfortunately it didn't work.

I also tried editing the registry by following what this site says

Note that implies midification of the Registry, it is recommended to make backup before proceeding

Open notepad and copy the code below:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\State\Machine\Scripts]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\State\Machine\Scripts\Shutdown]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\State\Machine\Scripts\Startup]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\State\Machine\Scripts\Startup\0]

"GPO-ID"="LocalGPO"

"SOM-ID"="Local"

"FileSysPath"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\GroupPolicy\\Machine"

"DisplayName"="Strat?gie de groupe locale"

"GPOName"="Strat?gie de groupe locale"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\State\Machine\Scripts\Shutdown\0]

"GPO-ID"="LocalGPO"

"SOM-ID"="Local"

"FileSysPath"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\GroupPolicy\\Machine"

"DisplayName"="Strat?gie de groupe locale"

"GPOName"="Strat?gie de groupe locale"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\State\Machine\Scripts\Startup\0\0]

"Script"="C:\\script1.bat"

"Parameters"=""

"ExecTime"=hex(b):00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

but it didn't work either

as you figured out windows 7 is hanging on the driver and they do not seem to have a windows 7 driver yet

you could

try the vista sp2 driver

sign up for their beta driver and see if that works

unistall and wait for a win 7 driver

or try what you suggested

good luck!

this should work

schtasks.exe /create /tn killaudio /sc onevent /ec System /mo "*[system[Provider[@Name=Microsoft-Windows-Winlogon] and EventID=7002]]" /tr c:\killaudio.bat /np /rl highest

I tried to run that command in an elevated cmd window and changed the appropiate path and file name, but it didn't work.

SfIsHeR1701, theses windows 7 drivers are in beta and I think they are already aware of this, its the top post in the beta drivers forum

the scheduled task works here (runs the .bat at user logoff)

what exactly doesnt work?

does the "fix" even work?

I've tried thre fix manually by using the net stop command on the service to stop it, and it works fine, windows shuts down without hanging.

I just need a way to have the batch file triggered on shut down only, and not on user logoff or switching. I hope that clarifies things

yxz,

I also tried that method and it does not work. But thank you for continuing to offer solutions. I think task scheduler is the key to solving this, I just don't know how to get it to run prior to shut down.

mduren2445,

I tried the vista sp2 driver and that also causes the same hanging at shut down.

Is there any way to get the Group Policy Editor onto the Home Premium version?

Hi there - I've got the EXACT same problem with my Tascam US-122 soundcard. I'm also using 7 Home Premium.

The only simple way round that I figured out is to just unplug the USB connection to the soundcard prior to shutting down. When I do this, the comp shuts down no problem. Leave it in, it hangs. Obv if you've for an internal soundcard that's not so easy....

Haven't found another solution as yet.....

Just thought that might be helpful - you are not alone!

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
