    Can I rearrange shutdown options in the Start menu and Login screen

    The options via the Start menu and Login screen are (in order):


    • Sleep
    • Shutdown
    • Restart

    I'd rather Shutdown be at the bottom to make it simpler to choose it.

    Shutdown from start menu now restarting

    System is Windows 10 Pro x64, version 1607 build 14393.321. Ever since the latest cumulative update to this build, I find that about half the time that I select Shutdown from the start menu, I actually get a reboot instead. If I use the command line shutdown.exe -s instead, so far that has not had the same problem.

    Any suggestions on why the problem with shutdown off the start menu?

    computer will not shutdown or restart.

    Try clearing page file at shutdown:
    CAUTION: This dramatically slows down shutdown times but hopefully it solves your problem.
