Application closing before shutdown c++

I have created a console application that runs through a windows service.

Service starts the application and runs it well.

The problem is when i attempt to restart/shutdown my PC, application is closing before the actual shutdown.

So what happens is the service restarts the application again before shutdown.

Even I tried without service. Application is closing before shutdown.

How can I tell my service to know that pc is going to shutdown/restart. So dont restart the application.

Can anyone help me with this ?

Your service can register for notification with RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx and will receive the SERVICE_CONTROL_PRESHUTDOWN notification when the shutdown process begins. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms685149(v=vs.85).aspx for more information.
