What Causes the Toshiba Flash Cards to Prevent Windows 10 from Shutting Down?
There are a few distinct causes for the problem:
Solution 1: Disable the Toshiba Function Key Main Module from Starting Up
The whole concept of flash cards consists of assigning hotkeys which can be executed by clicking the Fn key and some other key at the same time. This can be useful but it’s sometimes also not fully compatible with your operating system. It can directly cause the problem in the article and we can suggest this method as it will almost certainly work. Note that this will prevent you from being able to use flash cards but it shouldn’t be a problem if you never used them before.
Solution 2: Uninstall the Software
There are users who have reported that they don’t have the Toshiba Function Key Main Module option is the Startup tab of Task Manager yet they still receive the same error code. There are other users who have followed the instructions from solution one yet they still failed to resolve the problem. The next step is to simply uninstall the Toshiba Function Key software completely which should definitely resolve the problem but it will also prevent you from using flash cards until you reinstall it.
Solution 3: Install the Newest Version of the Software
With constant new updates being released via new drivers and new changes to your Windows operating system, it’s quite possible that the new versions simply don’t cooperate well with your Flash Cards module and you might want to consider updating the module in order to avoid further problem. Do so by following the steps below! This method is great as you won’t lose the function key functionality. Note: Before starting this method, it’s recommended you firstly uninstall the previous version of the software before downloading and installing the new version. Do so by following the steps from Solution 2!
Solution 4: A Registry Fix
The final method is more of a universal one as it will allow you to resolve these problems with almost every other app which may report the same error. When Windows is about to shut down, it sends a signal to running apps to save their progress and exit but it’s not that necessary if you always close them manually first. This method can actually skip this part and them without waiting.
