    We didn't have separate tutorials for those since folks could just use one of the shut down or restart commands from the tutorials below to create a shortcut with.
    Got it, Shawn. Thanks.

    Hopefully MS adds a toggle switch to turn this feature on or off. It's quite annoying, and I hate I have to use a work around just so my PC will do a full shut down

    agree on a toggle button. this change microsoft made was making my pc even slower at booting up and logging in.

    Hi Brink, Thank you for this. I also have the Shutdown Sound by right clicking, and selecting Shutdown PC with warning. I had tried everything else, creating the task in Task Scheduler, it worked once, and then did not again.
    I tried from regedit. It probably sounds strange, but maybe because the pc is shutting down slower makes it
    work. I do not get the sound if I press shutdown from Windows 10 menu or from Classic Shell Menu. I am happy to
    have the short Shutdown Sound like I had in Windows 7, and better just right clicking on the desktop context menu
    to shutdown.

    Hi Brink. I modified the Shutdown context menu entry for This PC analogous to that for the restart. The reg file seems to work without issue. I am uploading it to this thread. Does it look correct?

    It looks good to me for adding to the "This PC" context menu.

    Good morning @Brink

    In the shutdown context menu, why doesn't the reg file have this command listed in the shutdown tutorial
    (Shut Down Computer in Windows 10)

    shutdown /p /f
    Forces running apps to close, and turns off the local computer with no time-out or warning ?

    Thanks!

    Hey mate,

    The shutdown /s /f /t 0 command for Force apps to close, and shutdown PC with no time-out or warning in the context menu is basically the same.
