I am wondering.... :)
When Outlook gets gracefully exited, it will send any pending e-mails in
an Outbox. That takes some networking. I think there is an option to
disable mail check on exit. I leave Outlook running 24x7, so it can
alert me when new e-mails arrive, or for calendar appointments. On
shutting down, Windows requests open programs/apps to exit. With
Outlook, that takes several seconds for Outlook to complete a graceful
exit, so the shutdown pends. Similar for any other programs that are
open at the time of shutdown. Sometimes a program does not respond to
the Windows' request for it to unload, and you're offered to force the
shutdown which kills the program.
If you have no process that is doing networking, there is nothing using
the network, so even if the program ignores the exit request you can
kill it during shutdown. I'm sure all programs and services have
graceful exit routines rather than getting killed, like using taskkill. Services also need to get stopped. You'd have to figure out which
services to stop, and wait for them to stop, but that would take a lot
longer than having Windows do the stop on services, and wait for the
service to go into Stop state.
