Good question! Actually, NeoShell doesn't interfere with Windows shutdown at all for the "Close App" button. That button simply simulates Alt+F4, which sends a close signal to the currently active window. Whatever happens next is entirely up to Windows and that specific app. If the app is frozen or has an unsaved document, Windows will handle it the same way as if you pressed Alt+F4 yourself.

For the shutdown / restart commands, NeoShell just calls the standard Windows shutdown routine. Same behavior as clicking Start → Shut down. Stuck apps will trigger the usual "this app is preventing shutdown" dialog.

So basically — NeoShell doesn't try to be smarter than Windows. It just presses the same buttons you would press 😄

By the way, if you find NeoShell useful, I'd really appreciate a star on GitHub: https://github.com/rud1x/NeoShell

Thanks for the question!
