Windows 10: How can I set the start menu power button to restart instead of shut down?

I know this can be changed, but I can't remember how to do it. I want the power button on the start menu to show "restart" instead of "shut down". I know there's a drop down menu, but I want to set it and forget it.

restart and kernel-power event

Hi,



The kernel power event ID 41 error occurs when the computer is shut down, or it restarts unexpectedly. When a computer that is running Windows starts, a check is performed to determine whether the computer was shut down cleanly. If the computer was not shut
down cleanly, a Kernel Power Event 41 message is generated.



Try this, see if it works for you:

• Go to "Settings"
• Select "System"
• Select "Power and Sleep"
• Select "Additional Power Settings"
• Select "Choose what the power buttons do"
• Select "Change settings currently available"
• Ensure that "Turn on fast start up" is deselected (unticked)
• Click on "Save Changes"

Restart your computer after performing the steps.



Let us know if the above steps resolved the issue.

 

Start menu power button

My start menu power button doesn't appear and this is a windows 10 new computer and my start menu power button doesn't show anything or even shut down or hibernate or sleep.

Plz I need help.

 

Start Menu Power Options

Another minor annoyance with the new Start Menu is the Power button.

In W7 I can just press:

• The Windows Logo key
• The Right Arrow Key
• The Enter key

Whatever action I have set for the Power button will be executed (Restart, Shut down, Sleep, etc.).
I can also hit the Right Arrow key twice and use the "hot key" to choose the other Power actions.

I don't need to use the mouse or even have my monitor running to do this.

In W10 I have to view the Power options, so that I can choose the correct one (i.e. I can't figure out how to set a default action for it).

Even though I didn't like the Start Screen in the W8 series, MS may as well make "All Apps" appear in the giant right pane (W8.1- style) rather than the vertical scrolling left column horror that they have currently implemented.
