    Difference between shutdown /p and shutdown /s ?


    Hello,

    I followed Brink's tutorial here: Shut Down Computer in Windows 10
    And I saw that there are 2 ways to fully shutdown Windows through cmd: /s and /p.
    What is the difference between these 2, if both of them are said to perform a full shutdown?

    Thanks

    :)

    Windows 10 shuts down with no warning

    Since install of 10 I have had my laptop shutdown with no warning. I was running different programs during each shutdown. It was on several random days between the problems. Ideas?

    Power Off options in Windows 10

    What is the difference between "Win X Menu Shutdown(Start Menu right click)" to "Shutdown from Start Menu(Start Menu -> Power -> Shutdown". Why Microsoft has chosen to keep two ways of same functionality as both will use same number of Clicks to perform
    any operation.

    Difference between shutdown /p and shutdown /s ?

    hello, the /p will stop and tell you have programs running ,and to close them before shutting down . /s will just shutdown with no warning messages if apps are running or if you a text file or such open that you might be working on ..that's the way I read it anyway
