I remember one time that windows didn't want to give an option to shutdown without rebooting for updates. That was the solution.
Or a not so forceful solution: Go into the Ctrl + Alt + Del menu, and press the power button while holding down Ctrl. Now you can do an emergency shutdown.
Windows + r, shutdown -s -t 0, enter
I use "shutdown -s -f -t 0" it forces all apps to shutdown without windows asking you if you want to go back and save or if a program is not turning off.
even the shutdown command is complicated ffs
Be happy the shutdown procedure doesn't start by opening regedit. I wouldn't be surprised, to be honest.
I read that as rageedit.
Not really
The -s stands for shutdown, with other ones being for hibernate, reboot etc.
The -t stands for time. By default it's something like 30 seconds. Putting it on 0 makes it instant.
It only takes two parameters to shutdown, how is that complicated?
Not really, it's a pretty simple command that not everyone uses anyway. -s is for shutdown, -t for time. There are more complicated things in the Windows command line interface.
I think it would still update (if it didn't give a normal shutdown option)
Nope, I use it all the time if I'm going home from work. Works like a charm.
