Since a couple of years I use XBMC on a Windows 7 computer. A couple of weeks ago I installed Kodi at this machine.
Before that I uninstalled XBMC since it was installed in a different directory.
Kodi is working fine, I changed the shell in the register of Windows to the Kodi executable so it starts directly.
The problem is that when I want to shutdown the computer, just Kodi ends instead of turning the computer off.
So I get back to the Windows desktop, but without a shell since explorer.exe isn't started anymore.
Now I have to turn off the computer with the button. When I used XBMC before I could start up the computer by WOL with the Yatse app on my phone and tablet. Also I could turn the computer off again with Yatse, but that doesn't work with Kodi.
Are there more users who experience the same problem?
As a workaround I made a batch file which is now my shell and starts Kodi. After shutting Kodi down the batch file picks up again and will start a command to shut the computer down. This works, but when I just want to restart Kodi or the PC also the batch file picks it up again and shuts the computer down instead of restarting it. But this workaround is better than not shutting down at all. If other users experience the same problem and have a better solution it would be great.
