    What’s power button right? Do power buttons have rights? Or is it right side of power button?

        Not any longer sadly, kinda amazing how windows has that much control, I always thought it was a way to brute force a shutdown when you can’t do anything else

        Edit: I have the realized the error of my ways thanks to moody, 5sec hold on the power button forces a shutdown, pressing it once is just a software one

          Pressing the power button once does a software shutdown. Holding the power button for about 5 seconds will do a hard power off.

            It baffles me how many people don’t know that.

            My Mom didn’t know and Windows was stuck, not even the clock ticking. She had to wait until I got home and powered it off.

      Power button has rescue rights. I had to use the power button after Windows forced an update on Friday and my tower just sat there powered on but doing nothing for an hour, no signal to the monitor. Now I feel bad, it was probably just high on drugs.

      Linux mint, I just type sudo apt update and I’m done.
