By FonePaw | Jul 06 , 2019

You may be unable to shut down or restart a Windows PC in the normal way. For example, after Windows 10 upgrade, the taskbar disappears and you can't access the Shut Down, Restart, Sleep options. Or the Start menu is not working for you to find the Power button.

In fact, the Power button in the Start menu is not the only way to close a Windows computer. You can also shut down, restart, log off a PC by using CMD commands. You can even remotely shut down a computer that you access over a network. Read on to learn the simple commands to shut down/restart computer on Windows 10/8/7.
