Unable to shutdown or reboot. (Help Wanted)

[Lakr233]

My computer sucks at black screen when reboot from start menu or using command shutdown -r -t 0. I will need to hold power button and do a force restart.

I'm using newest windows version x86 ent version and has already run the autoupdate from a fork #1160. The graphic card is 3090 with newest Game Ready Driver using HDMI output to a TV.

I have already searched around but didnt find anything helpful. Anyone had the same problem?

We kindly ask you to first try to remove RDP Wrapper and check without it, and write only after this check.

Let me remind you that RDP Wrapper is a wrapper over termsrv.dll, which simply launches it with other parameters.

Yes I have tried many times. If I remove the termsrv.dll and do the reboot, every reboot works fine after a reboot.

I understand it sounds more like a BIOS problem or a driver issue or hardware probably, but I found this problem by updating Windows to an unsupported version to notice. The problem is confusing me for month and it suddenly went off this time. Once I update the dll using the autoupdate script, the problem went back.

It is also wired that the problem still exists even if I dont connect via rdp at all.

I'll get back to you if I found any solution. I'm currently trying serval scripts. Thanks for your time.

I am now 100% percent sure about this problem.

Following script at boot and shutdown effectively resolved my problem, unable to reboot, which was added using gpedit.msc.

Script for boot:

@echo off

"%~dp0\RDPWInst.exe" -i
"%~dp0\autoupdate.bat"

echo.

Script for shutdown:

@echo off
if not exist "%~dp0\RDPWInst.exe" goto :error

if not exist "%~dp0\shutdown.res" mkdir "%~dp0\shutdown.res"
copy /y "%~dp0\rdpwrap.ini" "%~dp0\shutdown.res\rdpwrap.ini"
copy /y "%~dp0\rdpwrap.dll" "%~dp0\shutdown.res\rdpwrap.dll"

"%~dp0\RDPWInst.exe" -u -k

copy /y "%~dp0\shutdown.res\rdpwrap.ini" "%~dp0\rdpwrap.ini"
copy /y "%~dp0\shutdown.res\rdpwrap.dll" "%~dp0\rdpwrap.dll"

echo.
goto :out

:error
echo [-] Installer executable not found.
echo Please extract all files from the downloaded package or check your anti-virus.

:out

I'm not sure if I can help with the error, but I'll do my best if any log or sys diag resource you need me to provide. If you don't mind, please reopen this issue.
