Different ways to shutdown your PC - Try something different
So, what method do you use frequently to shutdown your computer?
I guess it would be clicking on shutdown button via going through Start button (more often).
Here I am sharing few another methods to shut down your PC so let’s move ahead to find out more interesting ways.
1. The Standard Approach (Mouse Only): Click on Start button and then navigate to Shut down menu and click on it. It’s finished.
2. Regular Approach (Keyboard only): Press Windows Key and then hit “U†key two times repeatedly and fast (doesn't work in Windows 7).
3. Shortcut Approach : Create a shortcut for shutdown and place it on desktop or in quick launch bar. You can follow these instructions shown by screenshots.

Type "shutdown -s -t 00" and click next. after that click on finish.
4. Press the Win + R key to open the run window. Type “shutdown -s -t 00â€. [s means shutdown while t means the duration after which you want to initiate the shutdown process]. If some open processes or application won’t let you turn off, append a -f switch to force a shut down by closing all active processes.
.
5. Press Win + M key to minimize all active windows and press Alt + F4 to bring shutdown options dialogue box. Choose shutdown from drop-down list and press Enter.

6. One more simple but less know way is to use Run window. It’s a bit long but a way too. ;-) . Press Win + R and now type “cmd†and enter. then type “Shutdown –s –t 000†and press Enter. Piece of Cake. 😀

7. You can also download utilities from internet which can perform the task of shutdown for you. Go here. shutdown utility - Google Search .8. The last and the most powerful way (yeah ;-)) is to set your power button on Shutdown. Just press or hold down the power button and your system will shutdown. But it is advisable only in case of system freeze or deadlock conditions.
