Is the RuntimeBroker indicating that it isn't closing or restarting correctly?
Hello everyone!
I've observed through the event viewer that since last month, every shutdown and restart I perform is followed by a sequence of processes when the computer boots into Windows. One of these is particularly unusual. Looking at the details:
And the same applies for shutdowns:
Could this be a potential cause for concern? Is this a typical occurrence on Windows 11? I don’t have malware on my PC, nor do I have any bad sectors, and system files remain clean after sfc & chkdsk runs each time. What might be behind this, and is it a problem?
From the discussions I’ve seen about this issue, it appears many users experience their computers restarting or shutting down without reason, only occurring when I click the Windows logo in the taskbar and choose to restart or shut down. This explains why I’m puzzled by the "Unplanned" or "Unexpected" messages.
Thank you!
This was covered in the earlier discussion. https://forums. As long as it isn't automatically restarting Windows when not instructed, it seems to follow Windows business as usual—turning off applications that take a long time to shut down. When prompted to shut down or restart, at least that’s what I interpreted was happening.

Usually the Runtime Broker manages UWP app permissions on your system, including features from the Microsoft Store, such as camera, microphone, and location data. It might show up in the Event Viewer if another process triggers a shutdown or restart. While I wouldn't usually be concerned about it, as mentioned in the linked post, you can manually check for malware using your preferred scanner. It should be located at the root of the C:\Windows\system32 folder.
