Historical precedent: XP -> Vista -> Window 7 -> Windows 8 -> Windows 8.1 -> Windows 10
You are not the first person to post this, just the most recent.
No different than pressing the power button to turn a computer on then press the same button to turn it off.
Edit: Ms tried to get rid of the Start button in Windows 8 and got drubbed by so many people they brought it back in 8.1 (sort of) and for real in 10.
The way I do it is
Right click the four squares in the bottom left corner.
Up will come a menu, where you will see Shut down or sign out
Hoover on >
Where you will see
Sign out
Sleep
Shut down
Restart
Click shut down and that will let you shut it down.,
That is how I do it
First of all, it hasn't been called the start menu since XP. From Vista on it's had various names, like the "Orb", the "Flag" and most recently the "Windows Menu". Habit is habit, though, and people still say "Start menu", even though that's not its actual name anymore.
Second of all, it's an old complaint, and attempt at humor.
Hi,
Yep. And you can even rename that shortcut "STOP", find a stop sign icon for it, pin it to the taskbar or (oops) startmenu too.Now you don't have to use the start menu to shutdown.
Why didn't MS think of that ?
Cheers,
The Start menu is the main gateway to your PC's apps, folders, and settings. It's called a menu because it provides a list of choices, just as a restaurant menu does. And as "start" implies, it's often the place that you'll go to start or open things.
This would include to open the "Power" menu from it to shut down. :)
If you use a logitech k380 keyboard it doesn't have a key with a flag on it. It does however have one with Start on it!!
I think Elizabeth was starting a rather tongue-in-cheek thread, read the O.P. again
