Your PC keyboard probably has a key with the typical four-square Windows icon. Click on it and the Start menu will appear on the left side of the screen. First, you have to hit TAB once (the two arrows facing in different directions) and you will see that the first tab on the top right of the menu will be highlighted. Go down to the shutdown section, press enter, select shut down with the down arrow button and press Enter again.

Windows button + X

If you press the Windows button + X, many functions will appear. The first one starting from the bottom is for going to the desktop and the second one is for shutting down or restarting the PC. After choosing shut down, press “Enter.”

Run.exe

The Windows commands are used to access many different tricks (some very beneficial and others that can bring you problems in your PC) within Windows. In this case, press Windows + R, and there you access a square in a pop-up window. On the line where you can write, you must type the word shutdown -s and then hit “enter” and the PC will simply shut down.
