STATUS_SHUTDOWN_IN_PROGRESS

A system shutdown is already in progress

Windows shutdown APIs explicitly report when another shutdown has already been initiated. This status is therefore especially relevant to orchestration code that may have several agents, installers, management services, or remote administrators attempting to control shutdown at the same time.

Determine who initiated the first shutdown and preserve its reason, timeout, and force flags. A second request should not be treated as evidence that the machine ignored the first one. If cancellation is part of the product design, use the documented shutdown-abort path and handle its race with the final shutdown phase.

What to inspect

Record the first initiator, shutdown reason, timeout, and force/app-close flags.
Avoid issuing duplicate shutdown requests from independent management agents.
Use the documented abort API only while cancellation is still permitted.
