App "G" preventing shutdown or restart
After updating my Windows 10 to creators update (build 15063.138) when I restart or shutdown the PC a screen appears and shows a 'G' app which is preventing the operation.
Is there a way to determine which application it is, or find out more details about it?
I do not see any "g" running process or installed application in my system.
Solution 1:
Process Monitor will give you much more information about what is running and what those processes are doing.

- Begin the shutdown
- Cancel once hung
- Run Process Monitor and see what is going on.
Then enable verbose shutdown messages:
- Run gpedit.msc from the Start menu search
- Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System
- In the right pane, double-click on Verbose vs normal status messages
You can also get detailed information about shutdown using the Windows SDK:
