Asked By Donnaa Gordon 50 points N/A Posted on - 05/21/2013

Hello there.  Is there a way I can shut down and restart my desktop without using the Start button?  Can someone help me with a power script down using Microsoft PowerShell?  I'm on Windows 7 64 bit.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Greetings,

 

I understand your need for a Windows shutdown PowerShell script. You may try this.

 

get-help stop-computer -full

 

or this:

 

Clear-Host

Stop-Computer -computerName "pcname"

 

Just replace the pcname with your computer's name. On another note, if you want to shutdown the computer without pressing the Start button, you may press the windows button, press the right arrow key then hit enter. Alternatively, there's a bunch of software on the web that can do this for you.
