[RESOLVED] [2008] When I press the restart button on my pc, my code doesn't detect it...

[Icyculyr]

Hey, I've found that when I press the restart button on my pc (near the shutdown button, that my code for detecting shutdown doesn't work...

Although it works if I click restart, log off, shutdown, via the Start menu,

It just seems to not work?

Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    AddHandler Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.SessionEnding, AddressOf Shutdown
End Sub

Private Sub Shutdown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.Win32.SessionEndingEventArgs)
    Using sw As New StreamWriter(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "\RUNS.txt")
    End Using
End Sub

Does anyone know why?

Thanks
Icyculyr

How does your Restart work? Does it do a cold boot or does it invoke the shutdown process first?

[Icyculyr]

I have no idea, I click the button, and instant restart, no matter what's happening, so I'd guess it's a "cold boot"

Since it's instant, your application will not be able to detect it. The shutdown detection only works as part of the OS process.

Ah ok, zthanks

I see the specs for your machine, but who made it?
