this link has some different methods, but I dont know.
Shut down issue, Task Host Window appears.
original title: Shut down of Computer
When I shut the computer down a Task Host Window appears and I have to Force the Shutdown, how do I get rid of the Task Host Window?
If I press Cancel, nothing happens and I have to click on Yes to get the computer to Shut down.
Thank you,
Mrs KE Jonker

2015-02-10T20:30:06+00:00 Hey,
All i do is start the task manager, go to process,
Right click and end process on "Task Host" <-- the app that wants to be shut down.. i havnt yet decided if im just gonna fibnd the file location and files and manually delete them.. i have not yet countered a problem by ending the process "Task Host" <-- it doesnt reload or appear again and when i shutt down that hang in isnt there no more... i mean... i am looking into creating a routing file soo it automactically does this everytime on start up... I'll will keep you posted on it all..
As i said.. All i do is #1 Boot my computer up.. #2 ctrl-alt-del #3 bring up task manager #4 process tab #5 End process to Task Host #6 Use computer like i always have #7 Shut down after using computer (No pop up window or force shut down via to Task Host is prompting or ending task)
:D

Go to task scheduler, choose microsoft=>RAC, it is triggered every hour, just change trigger, stop the option of running very hour. then go to taskmanager, end the process of "taskhost".
DONE
So it turns out that it actually didn't work for me.

I've had the taskhost shutdown problem for a while now. It doesn't happen every time I shut down, but frequently enough to be annoying.
So I followed your advice and now the problem seems to have disappeared. At least on the latest restart. I'll see how it goes and report back after a number of shutdowns and boots.
Meanwhile: What is this RAC scheduled task thingy, and why does it make the shutdown hang sometimes?
If someone could explain it to me like I'm a twelve year old that would be great.
