Windows LogoIf you are in a real hurry and can’t wait to shut down fully, rather than just pull the plug to switch it off, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete then before you click on shutdown, hold down the CTRL key then click shutdown.
You will be faced with another dialog box saying use this as a last resort, then in a couple of seconds your machine will be shutdown.
