This tutorial will show you how to add or remove Shut down on the power menu for all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

A shut down closes all apps, signs out all users, and turn your PC off completely.

Shut down is available in the power options menu by default in Windows 11, but you can remove Shut down from the power menu if wanted.

Reference:

You must be signed in as administrator to add or remove Shut down on the power menu.

Removing Shut down from the power menu will not disable using other available options to shut down the computer.



EXAMPLE: Shut down on power menu
