hi. My computer has been showing me an error everytime I am shutting it down.

I am very new at fixing these types of complicated matters with my computer.
So please help me.

The error message is shown everytime I turn off my computer. Just before
it shuts down.

It said

dwwin.exe - DLL Initialization Failed : The application
failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down.



It is very hard to read because I get so little time when the computer is
shitting down. Maybe I should ytake a snapshot.

It happens everytime I shut down my computer. So far I don't see any
serious issues with my computer when I check with antivirus. But I am
worried that this may be a serious issue which is not being detected. Can
anyone please help me?

This can happen because of a corrupt /damaged application on your system.
Try to run the system file checker (Sfc /scannow) to correct/rpair damaged
files/folders.

If the above didn't help then we need the error messages from the Event
Viewer by doing the following:

Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat the
error, just one of each kind and post them back in your next post.
