Almost every computer user can shut down a computer from the start button or press and hold the power button.

Well, that’s good but if you want to be cool about this learn how to use the CMD interface to shutdown your computer.

Open the CMD interface by pressing Windows Key and R, then type Cmd in the box and hit enter.

Now that the CMD interface is opened type shutdown -s.

Shutdown is the command we want to execute and -s is the switch that tells the machine to shutdown.

Hit Enter key if you have not done so and watch you computer shutdown.
 
shutdown -s this will shutdown the computer in a minute by default

shutdown -s -t 30 this will shutdown the computer in 30 seconds

shutdown -s -t 30 -c "Powering off" this will shutdown the computer in 30 seconds with a prompt saying "Powering off"
