The Laptop is an HP EliteBook 8540p running Windows 7 Professional. OS updates are applied regularly via Windows Update and the machine is currently fully up to date.

Recently, when undocking the laptop it has started initiating the shutdown sequence. The "waiting on applications to close" box pops up so it can be aborted if caught quickly enough.

I can't find anything in the power configuration related to docking/undocking and google hasn't proven very useful either. Has anyone ran into this problem and figured out how to resolve it?

Have you tried a System Restore to a point before this started happening to see if it still does it? Anything new/suspicious in the Task Scheduler? – techie007 Nov 23 '11 at 19:17
Have you checked HP's site for driver/firmware updates? Possible something Windows Update changed will be fixed by updating them. – CharlieRB Nov 23 '11 at 20:12
I'll check and see if there is a new BIOS update available, I know HP puts those out pretty regularly, perhaps an update caused an issue that they resolved there. – Melikoth Nov 23 '11 at 20:49
