Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to type a Y for “yes” to initiate a shutdown abort without having to get into the command prompt? I made a small batch file that I have task scheduler run to automate the checkdisk utility. I did it by using the following code:

@echo off
fsutil dirty set c:
shutdown -r -t 300 -c “This automatic shutdown is scheduled to run the Checkdisk utility. Please wait…” -f

This just runs the checkdisk (after a 5 minute delay)that you would get if you lost power or turned off your PC without using windows shut off GUI. It marks the disk as “dirty” and tells windows to check it for errors. I would prefer to have the “yes” input show up in the countdown message window or in another nearby window. I’m a beginner at using command line stuff but wanted to add an easy way to abort the shutdown if it pops up while i’m in the middle of something. Is there a way to do this or is the only way by opening up a command line window? Thanks in advance.

@philiouse : I would strongly suggest you to boot into Safe Mode. Press F8 as soon as you hit the power on button. You would see the option of safe mode there.

Once you login into safe mode delete the files and do the Scan. ALso if you do have any restore point try that.

SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE!!! my dell laptop is infected with a virus that causes to shut down 3 min after turning my computer on. I know I have to delete some files and run an antivieus but 3 min is never enough time to do all that in. HOW DO I STOP WINDOWS FROM SHUTTING DOWN (there’s no count-down just a blue screen informing me that windows had to shut down)

@Abdul: Its possible that the driver is messing up with the system and OS starts shutting down. I would recommend to you to get the right driver

I was using Cable Internet (CMTS) service earlier and recently shifted to ADSL. My system did’nt have LAN driver, so installed it from HP website (mine is a HP desktop). Every since then my system is automatical shutting down every 5 minutes showing above message, what you have written in the article (shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM). Is it because of LAN drivers or ADSL interner? and what is the permanent solution for this.
