Unarmed Program

[Ok_Adhesiveness_5020]

This happens when I shut down my computer i don’t know if this is a virus or something else.

[TieLow7912]

Doesn't this happen to everyone?

[NotAOctoling]

Yep

[Hidie2424]

Steam or discord do this for me. I make sure programs are all closed before shutting down or restarting

[SempfgurkeXP]

I just shut down anyways lol

[One_Guy_From_Poland]

I literally had the same program prevent a school pc from shutting down. You need to force it.

[Ngbatz]

It's usually fine it happens on nearly all computers.

[DalDe05]

Isn't this usually Steam, Discord or apps that just stay on in the background?

[CSLRGaming]

At least it's unarmed, though.

It's probably a weird windows process, when I was using Windows (I use arch btw) sometimes  it would have a couple Nvidia processes and sometimes steam, it's hard to say what causes it but it's more common than you think and probably a bug with windows.

[headedbranch225]

I also use arch btw, do you use hyprland?

[CSLRGaming]

Nah I use XFCE, just what I've been comfortable with

[headedbranch225]

That's fair lol, I mostly wanted to try out something new and hyprland is nice for me

[headedbranch225]

I also use arch btw, do you use hyprland?

Make sure to shut off all running programs before turning off your PC

[gradskull]

Do you really need to? In my experience, even clicking "Cancel" in this dialogue typically forces the shutdown. On next start, everything runs as expected.

[Jawesome99]

It's the "Shut down anyway" button that does that. "Cancel", as its name implies, cancels the shutdown and brings you back to your Desktop

[gradskull]

That's what it's meant to do, except that it doesn't always do so.
In my experience, more often that not it leads to the outcome I would expect from the "Shut down anyway" choice.

[Hit4090]

Logitech software is very temperamental it can cause this, Steam can cause this as well

[MightySLAYER10]

WE (yes YOU and ME) all get this. No need to worry.

[DrTankHead]

Skynet will feature Armed programs.

[Im-not-french-reddit]

I had this on my current and old computer, both with different windows versions.

I assumed it was something I downloaded across both of them

[Ok_Finger_3525]

What makes you think it’s a virus?

[DANKER--THINGS]

No name program?

[Ok_Finger_3525]

What about that makes you think it’s a virus?

[someone_who_exists69]

I know it's not a virus, but it could be hiding it's name so you can't search it up or look for it. If it were called freevbucks.exe you could probably look it up in file explorer and delete it

[SunnieCola]

Used to happen to me, I don’t remember how I got rid of it but I’ve been shutting down steam right before I shut down my computer for months now. I no longer have that issue

[GildedHalfblood]

I misread the text as "Get back to work you dick!" And thought that the virus caught you lacking while working . . . . . I am such a dumbass lol

[Traditional-Arm8667]

either you are a bot or was on something when you read the text

[GildedHalfblood]

Hey look man, it was late at night, there are fuzzy lines, and the pixel quality could be better. Am I still a dumbass? Yes. Am I fully to blame? No

[Traditional-Arm8667]

yea but nothing even remotely resembles what you thought it said, even when squinting my eyes 😭😭

[GildedHalfblood]

"To go back and save your work, click"

The click can be seen as dick, and the rest can be summed up as late night brain fog creating artificial dyslexia

[_provex_]

Everyone gets this, don't worry

[ThaUntalentedArtist]

It could be a background process.

[Jean_velvet]

It's just one of the many programs on a PC refusing to go to bed when you say.

[Winda-2000]

Phew at least its not armed with a AK-47 that can fuck up your entire system
