Shutdown button in windows can be a simpler way to shutdown the computer in place of going through multiple clicks.
While the old-fashioned way is a simple process of only 3 clicks, you can simplify it to a double-click icon, or even a single-click icon on your taskbar.
Way 1 – Original Way
Step 1 – Click on the Windows Start button
Step 2 – Click on the Power button
Step 3 – Click on Shutdown
2nd Way – Create a Shutdown button
- Right click anywhere in the desktop
2. Click on New > Shortcut
Add the command
shutdown /s /t 0
Click Next
Give a name to your icon and click ‘Finish’
It will create a shutdown shortcut in your desktop.
This icon will now behave as a shutdown button in windows and double clicking it should shutdown the system.
Adding an icon to the Shortcut
Right click on the shortcut, and click ‘Properties’
Then select ‘Change Icon’
From the list of icons, pick one that suits, and click on OK.
Then click ‘Apply’ to save.
Double clicking the icon should now shutdown windows.
Way 3 – Single Click
With the shortcut in place, now you can drag and drop the shortcut to the taskbar
Now clicking on the shutdown icon in the taskbar once, will shutdown windows in one click
