When you are working on a remote computer and you want shutdown it or you want to shut down it remotely. May be you face with this error when you are trying run shutdown command:
A system shutdown is in progress.(1115)
First, you need to try to stopping winlogon.exe process remotely, you can use PSKILL tool to kill the process and allow the computer to continue shutdown process.
pskill \Computer-Name winlogon
Sometimes, the issue is related to “Windows Modules Installer” service. When you open services.msc, the service is in stopping status.
You can run the below command:
pskill \Computer-Name TrustedInstaller
I hope, this post help you to resolve same issues on your servers or remote computers.
pskill \\ComputerName winlogon solved my issue. Thanks.
pskill \\ComputerName winlogon worked for me too, saved the day, thanks a lot
Another option – if pskill winlogon doesn’t work, this might work:
.\psshutdown.exe \\ComputerName -r -f -t 1
For some reason I couldn’t shut down a server with PsKill or PSExec (kept getting 1115 A system shutdown is in progress), but PsShutdown finally got it restarted.
Hi Matt,
Thank you for sharing that.

Worked for me, as well.
Was so frustrated and was dreading having to call our Data Center Operations to see if they have access to ILO; or something of the sorts.
Command Syntax that worked is :-
pskill \\[Computer-Name] winlogon
pskill \\[Computer-Name] TrustedInstaller
Thanks so very much for sharing. It is truly a Godsend.
alhamdulillah,

Thanks for your comment.
Saved my bacon at 11:40PM. Thanks!
Welcome.
issued “pskill \\ComputerName winlogon” … ping on the machine was still active…
issued “pskill \\Computer-Name TrustedInstaller” … now the ping was interrupted, then finally executed my “shutdown /r” command and booted up like a charm.
BIG THANKS!
Thanks for sharing, good article.
I tried all the above mentioned comments and everything still system was not restarting, alittle more searching leads me to this and it worked
taskkill /s \\hyper1vm6 /U administrator /P password /im lsass.exe
>>> Causes a panic and the operating system HAS to restart
