Description

On Windows, I get a `PermissionError` "Access is denied":

```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\nbmanager-0.1-py3.5.egg\nbmanager\gui.py", line 148, in shutdown
File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\nbmanager-0.1-py3.5.egg\nbmanager\api.py", line 71, in shutdown
PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied
```

I tried running the shell as Administrator but get the same problem.

The app crashes as a result of this.

Research direction

Start with the shutdown call in nbmanager/gui.py at line 148 and nbmanager/api.py at line 71, using the reported Windows traceback as the reproduction target. Investigate why shutdown raises PermissionError [WinError 5] even when run as Administrator. Done means the app can shut down on Windows without crashing from this error.
