2. Shutdown from desktop (more info)

Create a shortcut on your desktop. Right click > New > Shortcut. In the box, enter this: SHUTDOWN -s -t 01 and

click Next. In the next prompt, enter the name for the new shorcut (eg: Shutdown PC).

Optional #1: Right click on the shortcut and choose icon for it.

Optional #2: Drag the shorcut to your Quick Launch for faster approch.

Instead of 01 (in red above).. just type 0 and the shutdown will be still faster!

^^its also better to put the argument -f so that the whole command reads:

shutdown -s -f -t 00

One more trick to shut down your PC.
Press Alt + F4 using the keyboard in desktop that nothing has opened as windows.
Then press 'u' the keyboard.
Hope this also help you all.

For me the fastest way to shutdown my machine is just pressing the "Power" button of my CPU cabinet once. :)

Same here, I really don't know the "advantage" of other methods.

If your cabinet is ATX, just press the power button. Simple :).

Note: If this does not work:
1) Open Power Options from Control Panel
2) Choose the Advanced Tab
3) Choose "Shut down" as the default action for "When I press the power button on my computer" and click "OK"

Better use windows key then press U and again U. In this way you don't need to ensure that no active window is there
