Cc: Mark Subject: Correction: How To Configure Either The Windows 10 or Windows 8 Shutdown Menu To Truly Turn Off Your Computer Hello Everyone, Joe is quite correct. I did use the incorrect term to describe how to truly shut down a computer. I should never compose emails after 11:00pm (smile). Below you will find the steps as previously posted but with the correct terminology. I apologize for any confusion I may have caused. By the way, as to the question of should one disable the Fast-Startup feature; the only reason this topic got on-list was because someone asked why Jaws kept announcing itself when she/he shut down the PC. The following steps will work in both Windows 10 and Windows 8.x in order to disable the Fast-startup option. Doing this will allow your computer to truly be shut-down as it was in Windows 7 and earlier. To disable Fast-startup, do the following: 1. Access Windows 10 Power Options. This can easily be achieved using several methods: a. Right click in the lower left corner of the screen (or simultaneously press the Windows + X keys). This will bring up an 'Admin' menu. Simply select Power Options from that menu. b. From within the Desktop; navigate to Control Panel>Power Options.Or c. From within the Start Screen; type "power", click on Settings, and selectPower Options from the list of results: 2. In the 'Power Options' window; click on Choose what the power buttons do (from the left hand panel): 3. In the new window; click on Change settings that are currently unavailable: 4. Uncheck Fast-startup. That's all there is to it. Enjoy, Mark _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list Jfw@... http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com
