You probably need to add something to your code to prevent that. You didn't include any source code so I can't tell you what to change.

it's quite obvious that ur all running applications includes applications like explorer.exe,csrss.exe etc..which is responsible for shutting down ur system..
you have to filter your criteria depending on need...

Are you wanting to kill the task as in task Scheduler that launches a process?
Or processes itself ?

Just Killing every thing like you are doing is a bad idea.
you need to target "A" "Process" not all of them.
Most system required processes when killed will cause a shutdown.

If there is a certain problem you are trying to solve we may be able to point you in the right direction.
A certain process slowing the system down, a certain task the starts at a bad time ect.

The code below adds only user tasks with windows to the ListBox.

VB

For Each p As Process In Process.GetProcesses
    If p.MainWindowTitle.Length > 0 AndAlso p.SessionId > 0 Then
        lstProcesses.Items.Add(p.ProcessName & " | " & p.MainWindowTitle)
    End If
Next

Why do you need to do this? Perhaps an insight into that would help us provide you best practices.

You may have to study the Win32 SDK APIs to find APIs that you can use to distinguish between user applications and services and other operating system components.

Also, killing processes without first prompting the user to save in process work is considered "bad form".
