It looks like NetWorx is preventing computer shutdown.
Computer won't shut down if a different user is logged on. NetWorx was installed under one user, but if that user logs out and another user logs in, it will not shut down. Using Windows 10. Is there a setting I should be changing?

Sorry this doesn't seem to be reproducible:

  1. I have created two users A and B.
  2. I logged in as A, installed NetWorx and logged out.
  3. I logged in as B and shutdown Windows. Everything worked as expected.

Are you getting an error message or something else that can help to identify the issue?

Thanks Andrew.
After reading your post I started checking stuff. And I found the problem. I am using a flash drive for my NetWorx database file and it was not set to sharing. I set the folder to sharing and all is well now.
Again, Thank You!
