Most probably the realtime view is still cranking away after the render job has finished.
There are a couple of options for preventing KeyShot from endlessly blowing off steam:

• Pause the realtime view before clicking Render. The realtime view will remain paused after the render is finished.
• Choose Background as the Render Mode. Render in Background will render the job in a separate KeyShot instance and pause the realtime view for you.
• Set a time or samples (in KeyShot 7) limit after which the realtime view will pause automatically. Look for the option "Pause Real-time Render after..." in the General section in preferences.

You could also choose to render with the Time Mode limit in keyshot and set a shutdown scheduler on your os (windows / mac).
