Cause you probably trying to WinKill Windows itself.  Put a ConsoleWrite in the loop and when you know which windows is causing it, simply discard that window.

No, I havent changed anything in the script. Its what you posted.
Also i dont know what you mean.
Maybe Progman? How to exclude it?

because WinList also captures the "Program Manager" windows, ie Windows itself, which, by closing itself, is equivalent to exiting Windows; so if you want to avoid it, as already suggested by @Nine, you have to exclude that window from WinKill (), as for example shown in line 8 (now commented by semicolon) This modified script shows, harmlessly, what would be "death row" windows

#include <array.au3>
Local $var = WinList(), $aVisible[0][2]

For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]
    ; Only display visble windows that have a title
    If $var[$i][0] <> "" And IsVisible($var[$i][1]) Then
        _ArrayAdd($aVisible, $var[$i][0] & '|' & $var[$i][1])
        ; if $var[$i][0] <> "Program Manager" then WinKill($var[$i][1])
    EndIf
Next

_ArrayDisplay($aVisible, "Windows to be killed")

Func IsVisible($handle)
    If BitAND(WinGetState($handle), 2) Then
        Return 1
    Else
        Return 0
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>IsVisible

Yes, I understand that and assumed its progman but I guess I dont know how exactly to exclude it from WinKill () 

if $var[$i][0] <> "Program Manager" then WinKill($var[$i][1]) gives me error and If $var[$i][0] <> "Program Manager" And IsVisible($var[$i][1]) Then doesnt change anything
What am I missing here?

Use a MsgBox for each handle before your WinKill and show the title of the window that is causing the shutdown attempt.  When you know it, do as you have been told by @Chimp

You just reapeat yourself. You gave me the hint & I already know its the Program Manager. My problem is idk how to exclude it.  this gives me a syntax error.
I use WinGetHandle to remove but its not a good solution. Also it doesnt kill programs in the tray. I think WinGetHandle is better option but have hard time on it as well.

Local $var = WinList()
For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]
if $var[$i][0] <> "Program Manager" then WinKill($var[$i][1]) Then
    EndIf
Next
Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:#32770]", "")
WinClose($hWnd)
Func IsVisible($handle)
    If BitAND(WinGetState($handle), 2) Then
        Return 1
    Else
        Return 0
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>IsVisible

Maybe but you do not seem to be able to help yourself.  And the syntax error what could that be.... 

Hmmm.  A misplaced Then and a useless Endif ?

BTW when you post code, use this tool.

Ok, thanx. I used a different file and had to delete some lines, i missed the Endif.
The thing is even without them and no syntaxed error it still doesnt work. Also if I could "help myslef" i wouldnt made the post in the first place.

Its obvious Im missing something but cant figure out what it is. Sadly Im that advanced. I mean its just my 2nd program. I want to be able to stop all apps but exclude my program. im pretty sure WinGetHandle is the better way to do it but this works too. Well, almost works... I can do it with cmd but its an external tool I want to avoid.

Thanks. I use Au3Info.exe & gpuview. The script doesnt work though. Ill look into it.

assuming ProcessExists will get all the windowed Processes first and in order (I think!) when combined with processclose while still in the loop and that the process pid checks as windowed @getting the new top windowed process pid 

I think this should do it quite well 

#include <WinAPIProc.au3>
#include <WinAPISysWin.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Local $aVar = _WinAPI_EnumWindowsTop()
For $i = 1 To $aVar[0][0] - 1
    If Not _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($aVar[$i][0], $GWL_HWNDPARENT) And _WinAPI_GetWindowText($aVar[$i][0]) Then
        Local $iPID = WinGetProcess($aVar[$i][0])
        If Not $iPID Then ContinueLoop
        $sPN = _WinAPI_GetProcessName($iPID)
        If "SciTE.exe" = $sPN Then ContinueLoop
        Do
            $iPID = ProcessExists($sPN)
            If Not $iPID Then ExitLoop
            $hwnd = _IsProcessWindowed($iPID)
            If $hwnd Then
                ConsoleWrite($iPID & "  " & $sPN & "  " & _WinAPI_GetWindowText($hwnd) & @LF)
;~              ProcessClose($iPID)
                ExitLoop             ;disable this line when using ProcessClose
            Else
                ExitLoop
            EndIf
        Until @error
    EndIf
Next

Func _IsProcessWindowed($iPID)
    If $iPID = 0 Then Return SetError(1, 1, False)
    Local $aData = _WinAPI_EnumProcessWindows($iPID, 1)
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, 2, False)
    Return $aData[UBound($aData) - 1][0]
EndFunc   ;==>_IsProcessWindowed

Edit: I see the above will need some polishing to work out the "explorer.exe" instances  

So essentially this should be enough:

#include <WinAPIProc.au3>
#include <WinAPISysWin.au3>

Local $aVar = _WinAPI_EnumWindowsTop()
For $i = 1 To $aVar[0][0] - 1
    If Not _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($aVar[$i][0], $GWL_HWNDPARENT) And _WinAPI_GetWindowText($aVar[$i][0]) Then
        Local $iPID = WinGetProcess($aVar[$i][0])
        If Not $iPID Then ContinueLoop
        $sPN = _WinAPI_GetProcessName($iPID)
        If "SciTE.exe" = $sPN Then ContinueLoop
        ProcessClose($iPID)
    EndIf
Next

Thank you. Although it leaves the tray, its better than nothing. How to exclude my program here?

Thank You, man :)

you're welcome

Edit: Use  ProcessClose($iPID) instead of  WinClose($aVar[$i][0]) So the closing of everything will go much faster

WinClose is the more graceful way of closing a program, That is allowing a program to do a self cleanup before closing

ProcessClose is like  WinKill ( "title" [, "text"] )

#include <WinAPIProc.au3>
#include <WinAPISysWin.au3>

Local $aVar = _WinAPI_EnumWindowsTop()
For $i = 1 To $aVar[0][0] - 1
    If Not _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($aVar[$i][0], $GWL_HWNDPARENT) And _WinAPI_GetWindowText($aVar[$i][0]) Then
        Local $iPID = WinGetProcess($aVar[$i][0])
        If Not $iPID Then ContinueLoop
        $sPN = _WinAPI_GetProcessName($iPID)
        If $sPN = "SciTE.exe" Then ContinueLoop ; youre ProgramName.exe if windowed it needs to remain active
        ProcessClose($iPID)
    EndIf
Next

Instead of force closing an AutoIt app, you could use: Inter-Process Communication (IPC)

I have several apps that use it for various things including sending a shutdown message.

That way, you have full control of the way each app closes. Not to mention, much more graceful.

And, it won't matter if it's an au3 or exe.
