The “AutoEndTasks” registry setting is potentially dangerous, particularly when combined with lowered values for “WaitToKillAppTimeout” and “HungAppTimeout”.
Windows waits for the timeout period to allow processes to close themselves. This may require writing data to disk. If timeout occurs and “AutoEndTasks” is set then Wndows wlll forcibly terminate the process without warning. It is always best to allow a process to close itself. Letting Windows do this on a regular basis is asking for trouble. Data loss or corruption may result.

Yes, it can damage your Outlook mail storage. If your computer is heavily loaded and your Outlook has a big PST file this shutdown speedup can corrupt your mail database. I’ve got such a problem!
