  1. New button appeared on desktop, can't make it go away


    My desktop has a new button on it at the very top right corner, it looks like the refresh icon. I would screenshot it but the snip tool doesn't capture it. It locks up my Windows Explorer if i try to right click it, not letting me right click anything else until I restart. I just want to know where it came from, and how to get rid of it. Any help would be appreciated. I am on the latest version of Windows 10 for reference,

    :)

    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.
