How to shutdown or sleep PC using keyboard shortcut on Windows 10

During the process of using Windows 10, we will inevitably avoid the situation of not using the mouse, or simply wanting to use the keyboard to shutdown or put the device to sleep. The following article will give you a few ways to do this job quickly and simply. 

Windows 10

Get Windows 10

Use keyboard shortcuts in the Start menu

This is the easiest and easiest way to shut down or put your computer to sleep. 

Press Windows logo key + X on your keyboard to open the Power User Menu. Here, you can see the underlined characters in each line, which are the keys for users to quickly access that function without pressing the mouse. To Shut down or Sleep, we will press the U key to make the menu go to the Shutdown or sign out line then:

Press the S key  to enter sleep mode.

Press the U key  to shutdown (Shutdown). 

Windows + X

Use Alt + F4 mode

Most users know that pressing Alt + F4 will close the current window, just like clicking the X button in the upper right corner. However, if you are on the desktop and are not using any windows, this key combination will direct the user to the Windows Shutdown dialog box. In this dialog box, you can use the arrow keys to select Sleep or Shutdown mode from the drop-down menu, and then press the Enter key. 

Tip: To quickly go to the Desktop, press the Windows logo key + D combination on your keyboard. 

Shutdown Windows

Create your own keyboard shortcut

This is a more complicated way than the two above, but the advantage of it is that it only needs to do the settings once. From the next time, you just need to press the installed key combination to turn off or switch to sleep mode for PC. 

The first step is to right-click on an empty area on the Desktop (desktop) and select New -> Shortcut

Shortcut

In the Create Shortcut dialog box, enter one of the following two lines in the Type the location of the item box and click  Next

To turn off the computer:

Enter an order in the box

Name the shortcut file you just created, then click Finish

finish

Next, right-click on the shortcut file just created on the desktop and select  Properties . In the dialog box that appears, find the Shortcut key line and enter a character you want in the box to place the shortcut key combination. This key combination will have the default form Ctrl + Alt + * (* is the key you set). 

Properties

Click OK to save the settings. From now on, as long as you press the keyboard shortcut you set, you will run the shortcut file -> execute the file's command to shutdown or sleep. Very simple and fast, isn't it? 

I wish you all success!
