Shut down Windows programmatically and wait for termination of resident processes

Question

Background

• I am writing a program to shut down Windows at the specified time. I am using shutdown.exe to implement this function.
• In my computer, there is a resident process to record system activity and send the record to a server when shutting down Windows. When you shut down Windows from the start menu (RuntimeBroker.exe), Windows waits for the resident process to finish sending the record (according to HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\HungAppTimeout).

Problem

When I shut down Windows with shutdown.exe, it doesn't refer to HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\HungAppTimeout and kills the resident process forcibly before it finishes sending the record.

Question

Is there any way (like a PowerShell cmdlet or a command included in Windows) to shut down Windows programmatically and wait for the termination of the resident processes gracefully before the shutdown?

Answer 1

Based on @An-dir's advice, I have tested some ways to shutdown Windows:

#	How to shutdown	What is executed	Wait for HungAppTimeout
1	shutdown from Start Menu	RuntimeBroker.exe	Yes
2	run shutdown.exe	shutdown.exe	No
3	run SlideToShutDown.exe	SlideToShutDown.exe	Yes
4	run Stop-Computer cmdlet	WmiPrvSE.exe	Yes
5	shut down from the lock screen	winlogon.exe	No
6	Alt+F4 on Desktop	Explorer.exe	Yes

For my purpose, Stop-Computer and SlideToShutDown.exe look suitable.
