Different ways to shutdown

1. Use Alt+F4 to close any programs running already (one press to close one program) NOTE: does not close minimised programs! When all the programs are closed, another press of ALT+F4 will ask if you want to Shut Down, Restart, Or set to Stand By mode. Then press U for Shut Down, R for Restart or S for Stand By.
2. press the Windows key (between Ctrl and Alt) which will bring up the Start Menu, then press U for Shut Down, and U again for Shut Down.

3. Ctrl+Esc opens the Start menu. (Instead, you could use the Windows key.) Pressing the u key selects whichever menu item has an underlined u. (Note that if your menu has other options that begin with a U, such as “User Preferences,” then you’ll have to hit u more than once and then hit Enter when Shut Down is selected.)

4. CTRL+ALT+DELETE (DEL)
Then it gives u a list if u either want to
shut down..
Hibernate. or restart your pc.
