Shutdown may cause some long running processes run by the File Watcher Windows Service to be terminated. This may cause loss of data if the process is terminated abnormally due to the shutdown. Stopping the File Watcher Windows Service before shutdown is advisable. This prevents the abnormal termination of the File Watcher Utilities Service and abnormal termination of any processes run by it.
