Ditto to your last comment, Glenn. I'm never on the desktop unless I specificly move to it. Probably has something to do with how we use our PCs as Gene has no issues with this. but, it's easy

That is the oddity I've noticed, even when I have closed everything, the computer is never focused on the desktop until I move there with windows M or windows D. Glenn

When I am ready to shut down, I always exit any applications I might have running so when it comes time to hit Alt+F4 I'm on the desktop. Gene...

Unfortunately for me, my hearing is not the best so I can't run Eloquence fast enough to make it unintelligible to other people. Gene...

Glenn Same here. I have to be at the desktop for alt+f4 to bring up that menu.

 Well if it has an audio port, it will work, as I can do it with an HDMI to VGA converter. I can just never find out if these "dummy" devices have an audio port like the HDMI to VGA does.

Hi. Another way to get to the SHUTDOWN/RESTART Windows is hitting WINDOWS+X. This is what I use. Kevin, Valerie and Jilly

Listening ears can often be cured by using Eloquence fairly fast, and most non screenreader users will dismiss it as noise. Those human sounding voices lend itself to being listened to by

Hello: " So sometimes I just tap the windows key and left arrow to shutdown and enter." Strangely, this does not work for me in Windows 10. And yes, the focus really does need to be on the Desktop

The last version of Windows that had shutdown on the start menu was Window 7, pressing the windows key in Windows 10 gets you the search box. Gene...
