Unknown app preventing restart

Oh I see, the application disappeared after restarting so I think it's gone and I'm not able to check it anymore
next time it happens you can use process hacker to get info about it, a lot more than what task manager can offer.
also that firewall message you mentioned in Chrome, I think it's just Chrome not having access to your internet at that time due to your WiFi issue so it thought a firewall was blocking it, a generic message.

Well, my PC was acting wonky after I tried to shut it down and saw that cptmsg was preventing the shut down. I restarted it and was having trouble with both Firefox and Chrome. So I researched and found this thread. Almost gave up until I read your reply about the kill switch on my VPN. I have just changed my VPN and didn't realize the kill switch activated when I paused the VPN. Problem solved. Thank you!
My pleasure, i'm glad i could help ^^

- It does but I don't have it turned on
- Hi,
does your VPN app have some kind of kill switch? when it's not connected to VPN servers, it blocks Internet access?
