Toshiba flash card problem

[c.kozylinx]

I have a Toshiba laptop. When trying to shutdown in windows 10 I get a message that the Toshiba flash card is preventing it from shutting down. I also get same message when I try to restart. It gives me option to force shutdown or go back and close the application, but I dont know what application its talking about. I've closed everything that was open. Do you know how I can rectify this problem?

I've looked and looked for the Toshiba Flash Cards app. in my computer and I cannot find it anywhere, not where you say to look and not anywhere. How can it be that if it's no where when I go to shut down it says Toshiba Flash Cards is preventing your computer to shut down? I hit shut down anyway, but am worried this will do damage??? Will it?

This gets a little complicated -- because of the different Toshiba models -- so please bear with me.

If you get lost in the different possibilities, tell me which Toshiba model you have and I may be able to simplify this a bit.
(For example, "Satellite L75-A7271" or "Qosmio X875-Q7390.")

As I stated, there are different solutions depending on the model.

SOLUTION A.
For example, the Startup tab in the Task Manager may contain "Toshiba FlashCards." In this case, simply disable it.

SOLUTION B (best).
OTOH, the Startup tab may contain "Toshiba Function Key Main," In this case go to the Toshiba support website and see if a newer version is available. I installed this version (1.1.15.4) and this fixed it for me.
Click on this link and enter your model.

SOLUTION C.
If you don't see anything at the Toshiba support website that looks like an appropriate download for either FlashCards or Function Key Main, then I would suggest you read the solution offered by "ing.luis.delmonte" on December 6th. (You may find it faster by searching for "I have the solution" without the quotes.)

Let us know how it goes.

Since I bought my Satellite C50-A in Europe I had to go to:
http/www.toshiba.eu/support/drivers/laptops/
in order to find Toshiba Function Key Main version 1.1.15.4 and succesfully apply Solution B.

Interesting. I went to the Toshiba support site mentioned above, found the Function Key update in the list...but when I put in my model number, it didn't show an update for any OS above Win 8. So I just did the disable method. Seems to be working after an initial slow shutdown and a forced power button shutdown afterwards, then bootup afterwards, which was nominal.
