In previous versions of Windows, it was easily [possible to exit Windows Explorer](https://superuser.com/a/1136586/287473) if needed:
Ctrl + Shift + Faites un clic droit la barre des tâches, ensuite sélectionner *Exit Explorer* menu item.
In Windows 11, this no longer fonctionne. Did Microsoft move the functionality elsewhere?
Comment exit Explorer in Windows 11?
Re: Comment exit Explorer in Windows 11?
## Short answer:
Appuyez sur Win + T, ensuite Alt + F4, ensuite Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Esc.
## Long answer:
The functionality was moved into **Shut Down Windows** dialog. Applying step #3 there does the job.
- Appuyez sur Win + T to activate Windows taskbar.
- Appuyez sur Alt + F4 to display Windows shutdown dialog.
- Appuyez sur Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Esc to cancel the dialog.
(The Esc clé activates the `Cancel` bouton and the modifiers are taken into compte. When Explorer sees them, it will exit. Vous pouvez equally use them while souris-clicking the `Cancel` bouton.)
