Ditto for me.
 
The other advantage pressing WINDOWS KEY+X, is that you can perform the command anywhere within Windows. Once you press WINDOWS KEY+X, to open a Context menu, tap UP ARROW key twice, to highlight the "Shut Down or Sign Out submenu".
 
Tap the RIGHT ARROW key once, to open the submenu, then you can use the following short cut letter keys:
 
I, for Sign Out;
S, for Sleep;
U, for Shut Down;
R, for Restart.
 
there appears not to be any short cut letter keys for any of the items in the Context menu, at least JAWS does not announce any when you press NUM PAD 5 on each item. JAWS says Blank, except for "Shut Down or Sign Out submenu", for this item, JAWS is silent. If there are highlighted short cut letter keys for each item in this Context Menu, Brian or, someone with sight on this list, can let us know what they are.

The only way I know of to get to the actual Power Button in the Windows 10 start menu is:
1. Hit Windows Key, then Tab.
2. Down Arrow 5 times, hit Enter.
3. Choose which of the options in the Power Menu you wish.

If there's a faster and more direct one in Windows 10, I'd love to hear it.
