After only a few easy steps, you can easily turn off your computer without pressing the power button or clicking the mouse.
If you own a laptop running Windows, you will have the option of customizing the behavior of the power button. You also have the option to customize the way you handle the lid of your laptop. This feature has been a part of Windows for a long time. Most users use it to put the laptop into Sleep or Hibernate mode.
However, if you prefer to shut down the system after the end of a working day and want to find a faster way to do so, you can shut down by folding down your laptop.
This operation of course only works on laptops and can not be applied on the desktop but it is the fastest way to shutdown without mouse or power button. The setup is also very simple. You just follow the step-by- step instructions provided by AddictiveTips .
You do not need administrator privileges to set this shutdown. If your laptop has multiple user accounts, you can set up individual shutdown behavior for each user.
Right-click on the system tray icon (System Tray). Select Power Options from the context menu.
The Control Panel application will open up and direct you to the Power Options option . Or you can open Control Panel and access this option under Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options . From the left column, choose Choose what closes the lid does .
On the next screen, you will see the option to allow custom actions to occur when you press the power button (When I press power button) ; When you press the Sleep button (when I press the sleep button) , and when you close the lid (When I close the lid).
You can set different behaviors when your laptop is running on battery and when it is powered from AC adapter.
Click the drop down menu next to the When I close the lid option and select Shut down for both On battery andPlugged in .
Click the Save changes button to apply the changes. When you fold your laptop lid, Windows will launch the shutdown process. Windows will not force the system to shut down. If you have applications running, Windows will close them first and then shut down the system.
Most likely, an application blocks a shut down with a message that prompts you to save your work before closing the application and shutting down the computer. It is also possible that Windows will shut down and you will lose all your unsaved files.
That is the risk that can occur when you shutdown this way. Therefore, you should make sure that you have saved all your work before the lid of the laptop.
Also, if you have a habit of folding your laptop lid off your desk, you should not activate it. If you just fold your laptop lid at the end of the day, this is one of the quickest ways to shut down your Windows PC.
You can assign the Shut down action to the Power button if the latch is not comfortable for you or when you are using the desktop. The desktop system usually does not have a flip but it certainly has a Power button.
