Policy CSP - ADMX_Winsrv

Tip

This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.

The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ADMX_Winsrv/AllowBlockingAppsAtShutdown

This policy setting specifies whether Windows will allow console applications and GUI applications without visible top-level windows to block or cancel shutdown. By default, such applications are automatically terminated if they attempt to cancel shutdown or block it indefinitely.

  • If you enable this setting, console applications or GUI applications without visible top-level windows that block or cancel shutdown will not be automatically terminated during shutdown.

  • If you disable or do not configure this setting, these applications will be automatically terminated during shutdown, helping to ensure that Windows can shut down faster and more smoothly.

Note

This policy setting applies to all sites in Trusted zones.
