Outlook won't close

Outlook , by design stays in the background to quickly reopen the program.
The problem is if my system receives an update and reboots, crashes, or i
close it outlook is closed as if I use the task manager. When doing that it
corrupts the sqll database for bcm and the .pst file.

When I exit Outlook I want it to close. When the system closes processes
(as in after an unattended update) I want it to close outlook fully.

You might be better advised to modify your winupdate settings to simply
notify when updates are avilable and ready to be installed, that gives you
some control, in which you can close apps, before any reboot is initiated.
If however you are saying closing OL dosnt work and leaves an instance of
outlook.exe in running processes in the task manager, then you need to
figure out what is causing this, generally its an addin or other sync
software that has a hook into the OL data file.
BTW When you respond post your version of OL and the type of accounts
