Hello Daniel
I have several instance on windows 10.2.0.3g, 11.2.0.3/p20 g and 12c/p13
and I didn't note that.
In windows 2003,2008r2 and 2012r2
At least there were not any problem with it, this means I never had to
execute a startup recover; only shutdown immediate and startup.
if you show me the error in the alert.log file I could check.

We have a few Oracle databases running on Wintel.
In the past year, the Admins who take care of these Wintel hosts
have started to patching MS-Windows on a monthly basis.
So once-a-month we are going thru the routine of: download patches &
reboot.
What we are experiencing is that the Oracle database software on those
Wintel hosts
is not shutting down gracefully. All we get is an error message in the
alert log,
followed by the messages showing the database being restarted.
I have talked to the guys who run MS-SQL databases and they are not
experiencing
this problem; that is, their stuff is shutting cleanly with each reboot.
I opened a case with Oracle support and got the following:
"The issue is addressed in bug 1912184 / bug 1638610.
The bug 1638610 has been identified as "Not Feasible to fix".
The reason for this is that once the Microsoft command to shutdown has
been issued, the dll security.dll is unregistered before the 'net stop'
command
is given time to execute properly.
Oracle has no control over the algorithm used by Microsoft when Windows is
shutdown and thus cannot force adherence to the values
of registry parameter 'ORA_SID_SHUTDOWN' and by extension
'ORA_SID_SHUTDOWNTYPE' at Windows shutdown time."
Is this accurate?
Is everyone running Oracle database software on Wintel living thru this
same scenario?
Thanks in advance.
