    desktop shutdown


    About a couple weeks ago my desktop computer stopped being able to shut down through the start menu, I have to physically press the power button. If I try to shut down any other way, the computer will only restart. I've tried changing the power settings to not restart if there is a system error, turn off fast-boot, tried to shut down through the command prompt. I even went so far as to remove my old drives and buy a new ssd and install an older version of windows 10. I also checked to make sure everything was plugged in correctly in case something had somehow gotten knocked loose at some point. nothing seems to have fixed the issue. Does anyone have any idea of what might be causing this and/or how to fix this?

    :)

    ShutDown button in desktop (Win-10)

    Hi Marcel,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    You can create shortcut for Shutdown, restart and sleep by following the below steps:

    • First right-click on the desktop, choose New and then Shortcut.
    • In the shortcut location box, you’ll need to enter the correct command, which I’ve listed for you below.
    • For Shutdown type the below command:
    Shutdown.exe -s -t 00

    • For Restart type the below command:
    Shutdown.exe -r -t 00

    • For Sleep type the below command:
    rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0

    After you click Finish, you should now have a new icon that you can double-click to immediately shutdown, restart, or lock your computer.

    Hope this information helps, for further assistance please reply.

    ShutDown button in desktop (Win-10)

    yeah it works but i have another problem with this combination.

    Shutdown/Restart shortcut force windows to shutdown without letting other apps to save their data, that is a bit nuisance.

    for eg:

    Utorrent is force closed and when i start the pc, it re-calculate all the toorents in the list even those that are already downloaded and currently in seeding state. It happens when utorrent is not closed properly.

    So is there any way to NORMALLY shutdown/restart/loggoff/lock windows pc?
