Windows – Utorrent checks files after every reboot/shut down

bittorrentshutdownutorrentwindows 7

I have searched all over the internet but cant find any solution. I am using windows 7 and utorrent. Whenever shutdown is given and if there are active downloads , utorrent checks those file on next startup. I have came to the conclusion that somehow utorrent is unable to shutdown, when shutdown command is initiated,hence it gets force closed by win7. How can i mitigate this issue? And for information I am not force shutting down my system, but clicking start-shutdown. Any body??

Torrent version:3.4.2 build 32126 32 bit

bt.graceful_shutdown: false

there is no AutoEndTask key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Do you have a large number of unfinished downloads? It might be ideal to close utorrent before you shutdown as well. Windows is probably forcing utorrent to close in the middle operations which forces it to check where it left off the next time it's loaded. The way you shut down is irrelevant. Windows force closes applications (sometimes not so gracefully) when you click start -> shut down. It doesn't allow applications to initiate any kind of code that needs to be ran before the app is closed, like utorrent making sure it knows where all torrents are at % wise before it closes.
