May be you are using Windows form past several years but today a very simple question “how many ways do you know to shutdown your pc?” many of us still knows the only standard way to do it via the start menu and then turn off…. but here are still seven more to do it…. mentioned below get through them….

1. The standard approach – click the Start Button with your mouse, then select the Turn Off menu and finally click the Turn Off icon on the Turn Off computer dialog.

2. Press Ctrl+Esc key or the Win key and press u two times – the fastest approach.

3. Get the Shutdown utility from Download.com – it add the shut down shortcuts for you. Else create them yourself using approach 4.

4. Create a shutdown shortcut on your desktop. Right click on the desktop, choose New Shortcut and type shutdown -s -t 00 in the area where you are asked to specify the location of the program file. Now you can just double click this icon to turn off the computer. The best location would be your quick launch bar.

5. Press the Win key + R key to open the run window. Type shutdown -s -t 00. [s means shutdown while t means the duration after which you want to initiate the shutdown process].

If some open processes or application won’t let you turn off, append a -f switch to force a shut down by closing all active processes.

6. Win+M to minimize all windows and then Alt+F4 to bring the Turn Off computer dialog.

7. Open Windows Task manager (by right clicking the Windows Task bar or Alt+Ctrl+Del) and choose Shut down from the menu. Useful when the Windows are not responding.

8. open task manager—>click on shutdown—>hold the ctrl key and click on Turn off  pc will be turned off in 3 secs.. fastest method other than hard shutdown.

Haven’t you surprised though here in this list I have tried to include the full list but in case if you know any other strange way to do, then why not mention in the comment section….
