When you click on the shutdown command<\/b> in the Start menu, the OS performs the selected action directly. While this is okay for regular users, there are instances like if you are a system administrator where you need to keep the system running for as long as possible without any downtime. If there’s a reason to restart or shutdown, it’s handy for many IT companies to log and document<\/b> these reasons so over time they may analyze why the restart or shutdown was required to maximize their Windows session uptime. For this, you can enable the Shutdown Event Tracker<\/b> feature. <\/p>\n

When Shutdown Event Tracker is enabled, you can’t shut down or restart the operating system without the dialog for providing a reason popping up. If the computer is shut down or restarted unexpectedly, either as a result of power interruption or hardware failure, the user is prompted to enter the reason in Shutdown Event Tracker<\/b> when the computer starts again. So this information can be retrieved later from the Event Log. Here is how to do that.<\/p>\n

Here is How to Enable Shutdown Event Tracker in Windows 10:<\/h3>\n
\n
    \n
  • STEP 1: At first, open the Registry Editor<\/b>. To do so, just press Win+R, type regedit.exe<\/b> and press OK.
    \n\"windows-10-open-registry-editor\"<\/li>\n
  • STEP 2: Then go to the Registry key
    \nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\Reliability<\/i><\/b>
    \n\"windows-10-find-Reliability-registry-key\"<\/li>\n
  • STEP 3: After that, create a new 32-Bit DWORD value ShutdownReasonOn<\/b>, and set its value to 1.
    \n\"windows-10-create-ShutdownReasonOn-value\"<\/li>\n
  • STEP 4: Finally create a new 32-bit DWORD value ShutdownReasonUI<\/b>, and set its value to 1 too.
    \n\"windows-10-create-ShutdownReasonUI-value\"<\/li>\n

    Don’t forget to restart Windows 10 to make the changes take effect.\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
