I'm having an issue in Windows 8.1 64-Bit with the Shutdown After Defrag Feature.
It doesn't matter if I choose Quick Defrag, or Standard, but once the Defragging is Complete, I get the Warning Message:
"There are other users logged in.
While shutting down, those users will lose their unsaved data.
Shutdown anyway | Cancel"
I am the only user signed in, and created on this computer, so this warning message is completely unnecessary, and negates the point of having a Shutdown After Defrag feature, when I have to choose to Shutdown anyway afterwards.
I have also noticed this issue on Windows 8 64-Bit, and am not sure if this is just a Windows 8(.1) bug, or if other Windows OS's are having this issue as well.
I have attached a screenshot with the above information for further assistance/reference.
I enjoy Defraggler much more than the other competition (namely Auslogics Defrag Free and MyDefrag), but I may have to switch, as I have tested them, and both have working Shutdown After Defrag features, even on Windows 8(.1).
Thank you for the excellent software, and hopeful fix, Piriform.
I tried this on my machine last night and got the same result. I am the sole user on this machine and have no shared devices. Windows 8 OEM 64 bit v 6.2.9200 - Defraggler v 2.16.809.
although you may not have more than one user, do you have any network resources that are shared out?
in other words, is your PC on a network with printers, attached storage devices, wireless tablets/smart phones etc ?
I'm part of a HomeGroup in my home, but I don't see why that would affect the ability to shutdown, as this issue never presented itself until I installed Windows 8, and now currently 8.1. Even while I was still connected to the HomeGroup on Windows 7, Defraggler would still Shutdown After Defrag without a hitch.
I should also add I am using Defraggler v 2.16.809 (64-bit) as well, just as Derek891.

Hi Idioblast, I am facing the same problem as you. Just wondering if you have a solution to the problem already?

Hey there Art, unfortunately, no, I haven't found a solution, (short of unfortunately reinstalling Auslogic's Free Defrag - just so I can shutdown after defrag temporarily) but hazelnut's post is very exciting if it's true, and I will switch back in a heartbeat, as Defraggler just offers so much more than the competition, especially for free, and doesn't try to push more unneeded software on you like Auslogic does.
