There are programs like the OP in #23483 described, which
interrupt a shutdown to ask the user whether to save. Some of
them even call themselves "programmers' text editors" (shudder).
Emacs autosave is and always has been a better solution.
You can shoot yourself in the foot by making small but important
changes and then immediately shutting down Windows. But you'd
almost have to be doing it on purpose.
