1. You no longer need the computer turned on. You might be finished with the using the computer, and in order to save power and electricity, you just need to turn it off.
2. When the computer is very hot. You no longer feel working on a computer on a hot day, thus you just need to turn it off. Also, when computer is on for a very long time, you need to turn it off, to avoid breakdown.
3. You need to apply system updates from Windows updates, or update of software, or update of registry settings.
Since you really want to turn off the computer, you do the proper shutdown procedure. You do not unplug the computer from the wall outlet, or switch off the UPS or switch off the AVR while the computer is still on.
To properly shutdown the computer to ensure it will boot properly next time, or to make sure that your data and system files are not corrupted, you should be aware of the Shutdown icon from Start Menu or the Switch user shutdown icon by clicking Ctrl + Alt +Delete button. Click shutdown, after you saved all your open files.
Sometimes, the computer you are trying ro shutdown is not at your house, and is located at office or on other location outside the city, the state, or country. How would you turn it off, with the help of network connection. How to remotely shutdown a Windows 10 computer? Simple. Just follow the steps below:
1. If you have a access to the computer (usually a server), then if you could remotely access it via VPN or via WAN, then you can just login to it and shutdown by:
- Open command prompt
- Type in shutdown /s /f /t 0
- /s is for shutdown, /f is for forced, /t 0 means wait zero seconds to shutdown
2. Access the network attached computer (usually a server) with a network management option. This does not require the OS to be shutdown, as it is a management tool available on a supported server. HP ILO is an example. As long as the network is configured properly to be secure and accessible, you have the option to shut it down completely.
