In some cases, we are not able to shutdown our Windows Computer using normal GUI process. So, in these situations, we can use Windows Command Line to force the shut down. Let’s see how to use Command Prompt on a Windows PC to shut it down.
STEP1
Search CMD in Start Menu
Go to Start Menu. Click on Windows logo in the bottom-right corner of the screen or press Windows+R key on your keyboard. Click on Search and type CMD into the Search field.
STEP2
Launch CMD
Right Click & select ‘Run as Administrator’.
Select ‘yes’ on the Windows prompt.
STEP3
Command to Shutdown PC
Type ‘shutdown –s’ & hit enter.
Important Notes: You must have Admin Rights to perform this operation on the PC on which you are working
