- uFlags
Specifies the type of shutdown. This parameter must be some combination of the following values:
EWX_FORCE
Forces processes to terminate. When this flag is set, Windows does not send the messages WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION to the applications currently running in the system. This can cause the applications to lose data. Therefore, you should only use this flag in an emergency.
EWX_LOGOFF
Shuts down all processes running in the security context of the process that called the ExitWindowsEx function. Then it logs the user off.
EWX_POWEROFF
Shuts down the system and turns off the power. The system must support the power-off feature.
Windows NT: The calling process must have the SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME privilege. For more information, see the following Remarks section.
Windows 95: Security privileges are not supported or required.
EWX_REBOOT
Shuts down the system and then restarts the system.
Windows NT: The calling process must have the SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME privilege. For more information, see the following Remarks section.
