Using "Forcingly" and "Forcefully."

What does "forcingly" mean?

Does this example contain the proper usage of the term "forcingly?"

Ex.: So I am forcingly shutting down my computer.

Next, why is "forcefully" not defined as the following: done from constraint, obligation, etc.

For examaple, I cannot say ". . . and forcefully I had to purchase the book" to mean that I purchased the book because the circumstance forced me too.

"Forcingly" may theoretically be a word but it's not in common use and there's a synonym which is much preferred, so it's best to avoid it.

forcingly? I don't believe I've ever heard or read this word in my life! It may be in the dictionary, but it's certainly not used - or very rarely used. That being the case, it's hardly worth the trouble to spend time trying to master the use of the word.
