Has anyone tested ShutdownPE script in Win10PESE yet? Was curious to know if it could be integrated into the shutdown process like it worked so well in Win7PESE. Im not currently able to test on my PE creation system because its down at the moment so thought I'd ask the forum.

Thanks all.

ShutdownPE was never updated to work with Windows 8/10, so I would not recommend using it.

as far as I remember ShutdownPE was created to be sure hd was first flush than shutdown. And a nice menu for shutdown.
( Later more integrated ...)

Just to info, there is Flush (by Galapo) available
\Downloads\AppsYGS\System Tools\"Flush"

which you can first Flush than shut down PE.

Thanks for the response guys. The only reason I ask is that the eject cd/dvd tray option was useful. Keeps folks from forgetting to eject discs so if shutdownPE isnt an option does anyone know of a way to auto eject the tray during shutdown? I do use flash drive mainly but sometimes I use discs so...

There is an option available with pecmd in system tray, right or left click: Eject and Shutdown.
However, I have not tried the eject function, I did not burn any CD\DVD for a long time.

Not true. ShutdownPE was updated for Win 8.1. the latest release is 1.5.x and was posted back in Jan of 2015 script version is .17
I do not know why chrisR continued to use the old 1.4.x version. He never reported any issues on the 1.5 beta. as far as I am aware there are no outstanding issues with 1.5.x

ShutdownPE was originally written for and was the fist GUI for Win7PE. Before shutdownPE the only way to shutdown/reboot was to create shortcuts directly to winpeutil.exe and there was no way to eject CD's
ShutdownPE fulfilled this need and added the additional safety of flushing file-buffers and the option to run additional programs before shutdown (ie unmount, save logs, etc)
a bit later if added integration into the start menu shutdown/reboot options (which were previously non-functional) so the start menu was usable and had the benefit of flushing buffers, running scripts, ejecting cd's etc.

Not true. ShutdownPE was updated for Win 8.1. the latest release is 1.5.x and was posted back in Jan of 2015 script version is .17
I do not know why chrisR continued to use the old 1.4.x version. He never reported any issues on the 1.5 beta. as far as I am aware there are no outstanding issues with 1.5.x

It's beeen a while now Homes32. Congratulation for your wedding  :thumbsup:

I vaguely remember a version 1.5 beta indeed but no much more, it's old now and I don't find it on my backups.
Let us know for a version 1.5 if you find it.

found it. pretty sure this was the GA release. let me know if something is borked. I dusted off the code and have been tinkering with getting kb controls (tab/enter) working for v1.6. something I have wanted since forever but MS has made difficult with icon controls.

Pecmd hooks in automatically. It uses the normal restart and shutdown options on the start menu.

So does ShutdownPE. Whats your point?

This thread is about a user wanting the additional features of ShutdownPE.

PEcmd does not:
  • give the option to eject cd/media on shutdown/reboot. Something the OP desires
  • allow you to lock the screen
  • perform a safe shutdown after flushing all buffers to disk
  • allow you to run a user defined program or script before shutdown/restart
All things ShutdowPE does.
