There may not be anything we can do, but I thought I would ask. :-) We have a windows event that reboots the kiosk. BraumsB.exe is a wrapper for chrome. The Form1 is a vb.net from hosting the wrapper. I can't remember off the top of my head, but we have to run eowp.exe for some workaround. For some reason, the eowp.exe is holding up the reboot. I found a thread that talked about eowp.exe shutdown issues, but he was trying something different and you told him that shutdown for eowp.exe was a once started can't stop the process. Any thoughts on how to make this OS shutdown smoother?

Hi,
eowp.exe will only hold up the shutdown when you have active WebView objects that are not being destroyed. This allows your application (that uses the WebView) to perform last minute work before the system shutdown. So as soon as your application that uses the WebView does not hold up the shutdown, eowp.exe will exit.
Thanks!

This is a known issue on Windows 7. You would have to manually kill your main application in order for eowp.exe to exit. If eowp.exe does not block shutdown, then it can be killed by Windows before your application receives shutdown signal, and if you try to handle that event (SessionEnding) and access the WebView, then that will fail because the underlying eowp.exe is already killed. So there is no good solution either way. Windows 10 fixed this issue and allow the application to exit orderly.
