Windows 10: Win11 - shutdown /p does not work

Hi There,I've just realized that on Win11 when I perform shutdown /p does not work. On Win10 I used to go to "start" and then type "shutdown /p".In Win11I'm able to see the run command prompting but once I click on it, the computer does not shut down itself.Any advice?Thank you.

How can I force "shutdown /p" if regular shutdown hangs?

Hello! I am an Independent Advisor, I would love to help you out!

You could try this command:

shutdown /s /p /t 60

What this does is issue the shutdown command

/s states it is for a shutdown

/p states that no time-out or warning message will appear

/t 60 is what makes it wait 60 seconds before issuing the shutdown command

The only thing I am not 100% sure will work is the /p being there. I think it will, but if the command I gave you doesn't work then try removing the /p and see if it works then.

You are correct.

If you use the command without /p does it work? Is there a specific reason you are trying to use /p?

shutdown /s /t 60
