A common gripe that many Windows 8 PC users have is the extra step that’s now seems to be needed to shut down the computer, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

On a Windows 8 desktop machine you can use the keyboard shortcut of the windows key and ‘I’ then select settings, the power button and click ‘shut down’ or press control-alt-delete and select the power button and click ‘shut down’…but we can simplify that more.

You can program the power button on your computer hardware to shutdown windows or you can create a”shutdown” shortcut on your windows desktop that will also appear on your windows start screen to power down the machine in a single click.  Get full details on how to do that HERE.
