Windows Server - Shutdown Event Tracker

Anyone who has used a Windows Server OS for their workstation, in a VM or on a development server has probably been annoyed by the Shutdown Event Tracker (that prompt that asks you to enter a note about why you are shutting down) when restarting or shutting down. If you have ever wanted to get rid of that than here are some instructions.
  1. Open the Local Group Policy Editor by running gpedit.msc
  2. Under Computer Configuration select Administrative Templates and Click System
  3. In the right window double-click Display Shutdown Event Tracker
  4. Change the setting to Disabled and click OK
That's it.
