"ExitWindowsEx(EWX_SHUTDOWN ,EWX_FORCE);"

the parameter are incorrect. Use a below ExitWindowsEx(EWX_SHUTDOWN | EWX_FORCE, SHTDN_REASON_MAJOR_OTHER );

U can't directly use this API. To use the API, u'r process should have sufficient privileges. The Privilege required is SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME. Use

OpenProcessToken()

and

AdjustTokenPrivileges()

to get the right privilege.

ExitWindowsEx Windows NT/2000/XP: To shut down or restart the system, the calling process must use the AdjustTokenPrivileges function to enable the SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME privilege. For more information about security privileges, see Privileges. Windows 95/98/Me: ExitWindowEx does not work from a console application. HANDLE hToken; // handle to process token TOKEN_PRIVILEGES tkp; // pointer to token structure if (!OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | TOKEN_QUERY, &hToken)) { return (FALSE); } LookupPrivilegeValue(NULL, SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME, &tkp.Privileges[0].Luid); tkp.PrivilegeCount = 1; // one privilege to set tkp.Privileges[0].Attributes = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED; // Get shutdown privilege for this process. AdjustTokenPrivileges(hToken, FALSE, &tkp, 0, (PTOKEN_PRIVILEGES) NULL, 0); Then call ExitWindowsEx function :)
