Closing down an App oon my PC

Hi


Over the weekend my PC automatically carried out a number of updates. Now when I go to close down my PC I get a message saying 'This app is preventing shutdown'. There is an icon of an app but I cannot click on it to see what the app is. I get an option to shut down anyway.


Is there any way to find out what this app is? I have not opened any app so I assume it is one that must open automatically when I turn on my pc.


Thanks
Val :)

    Open Task Manager and have a look.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.
