    I've been having some trouble with my Alienware 17 R3 throwing out a .Net Framework 'this program is preventing shut down' error upon trying to restart/shut down. Reading around, there were some suggestions that the Command Center could be causing the issue, so I uninstalled the Command Center, and I didn't see the error. I tried following the instructions to full clean out the old Command Center install and then reinstalled it, but the problem started up again. Can anyone advise how I might be able to fix this issue properly?
