Shortcut to arrêt or redémarrer Windows 10 or 11 in less than three keystrokes

ayi

On Windows XP we had Win , U + U

On Windows 7 we had Win , Right cursor + Enter

I never had Windows 8, so I am not sure what the shortcut is/was.

There is Alt+F4 and then Enter, but this only works from the desktop. Je voudrais do this from any 'position' or 'place' or within any program. If I were in an application and did this, I'd only close down that application.

My question is, is there a keyboard combination (which does not rely on creating scripting files and global shortcuts), to shutdown the PC in three or less keyboard keystrokes from any position/program. Also, is there a similarly short key sequence for restart?

Comment shutdown Windows 10 in 3 or less keystrokes?

There are three solutions (detailed below).

Configure the Power button to perform a shutdown (1 button press)

Win+D, Alt+F4, Enter (3 keystrokes/5 keypresses) or

Win+X, U, U (3 keystrokes/4 keypresses)

Remarque :

The U may need to be replaced with another keystroke depending on your language setting si vous êtes not using an English version of Windows.

Solution 1 - Configure the Power button to perform a shutdown (1 button press)

Technically a button press is not the same as a keystroke, but Je pense it meets the spirit of the question.

Click in Windows 10's Search field, type "power", and puis cliquez sur "Options d'alimentation" in the search results that appear.

In the list of options à gauche, click "Choose what the power buttons do."

There are pull-down menus next to "Quand je press the power button"

"On Battery" (laptop only)
"Plugged In" (laptop and desktop).

Cliquez sur le pull-down menu(s), et sélectionnez "Shut Down".

Click "Save changes"

Now, whenever you press the power button, your PC should immediately shut down.
