Hi @gfody

We search exactly something like your service "OnShutdown", but unfortunately we are not able that your service works on Windows Server 2016 & 2019 VMs (Hyper-V).

I registered the Windows service like:
New-Service OnShutDown -bin 'OnShutdown 4000 "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -command {Get-process | out-file c:\temp\testfile.txt}"' -StartupType Automatic

Do you have any idea why this is not working?

I am on Windows 11 Home, and I am looking for a way to perform some registry changes (stored in a *.reg file) whenever I shut down the laptop. Even with the info I found online - also in your instructions, and in the two existing issue threads - I just couldn't manage to make it work.

Maybe this would also be helpful to others. Could you run me through the necessary steps? Thanks! : )

Here's what I tried:

New-Service OnShutdown -bin 'OnShutdown 1 "cd \"C:\Program Files (x86)\Pulse-Eight\USB-CEC Adapter\" && tv_off.cmd"' -start Automatic

This doesn't seem to work on shutdown. Confirmed that service is started.

The README says The second parameter is the command to pass through to CreateProcess so I assume there's something wrong with my string. Running the string by itself unescaped works properly.

I have a batch file "C:\somebatch.bat".

I didn´t manage to get the right syntax for registering the OnShutdown Service to execute this file on shutdown.

Could you please help me?

Best regards,

P.
