Oh cool, good to see the power button is still on the other side of the fucking menu. You know, the thing that I'm clicking on 90% of the time I'm opening the Start Menu? Why have that easily reachable like in past versions of Windows? Silly me I guess.

Win+X > U > U

Shuts down your machine with no mouse required, use U > R if you wanna restart

I just Alt + F4 from the desktop or just press the power button. I always change it to regular old shutdown.

agree on the power button change, unless you have little kids, in which case the button should just be disabled.

I saw other people mentioning managing multiple computers in an offise space. I wouldn't trust that everybody wound configure the power button action.

i don't understand what you mean exactly

[–] mr_satan@monyet.cc 1 points 3 weeks ago

Sometimes people manage other computers so it's not practical to configure all of them and you can't trust what people have configured for the power button
