Syntax

typedef struct _SERVICE_PRESHUTDOWN_INFO {
  DWORD dwPreshutdownTimeout;
} SERVICE_PRESHUTDOWN_INFO, *LPSERVICE_PRESHUTDOWN_INFO;

Members

dwPreshutdownTimeout

The time-out value, in milliseconds.

Remarks

Starting with the Windows Creator’s Update (build 15063) the default preshutdown time-out value is 10,000 milliseconds (10 seconds). In prior releases, the default preshutdown time-out value is 180,000 milliseconds (three minutes).

After the service control manager sends the SERVICE_CONTROL_PRESHUTDOWN notification to the HandlerEx function, it waits for one of the following to occur before proceeding with other shutdown actions: the specified time elapses or the service enters the SERVICE_STOPPED state. The service can continue to update its status for as long as it is in the SERVICE_STOP_PENDING state.
