Try up-arrow after pressing the Windows key. Then, maybe, a left or right.

Alt+F4 is what I do, for one thing you don't have to first locate the
shortcut to use it so it's much quicker.

1. Go to the desktop and make certain no item has focus. Then bring up
the context menu, whether by SHIFT+F10 or the Applications/Context Menu
key, and select New, Shortcut from that menu.
2. In the Create Shortcut dialog that comes up, in the "Type the
location of the item" edit box, enter: C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe
/s /r /t 5
then activate the Next button.
3. In the Type a name for this shortcut edit box, enter the name of your
choosing. I tend to just call it something like "Restart in 5 seconds."
4. Activate the Finish button, which will place the shortcut using the
name you choose on your desktop.
If you were to want that restart to begin immediately, with no option to
cancel, then change that 5 to a zero. That, or get rid of the "/t 5"
entirely and substitute it with "/l".

That doesn't work either, at least in Windows 10 it doesn't.

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. --

- That still applies, and was mentioned by Kevin Minor back in message #99747.I elaborated that if you hit Win Key + X, followed by U, you are immediately placed in the actual shutdown menu and can up/down arrow to the option you prefer. You can, of course, up arrow twice after WinKey + X and then move over into the submenu. It's one of those "whatever floats your boat" things. --

- Let me be clear, you're absolutely right about either of these two being the quickest methods. What I wondered is if there is a quicker way to immediately throw focus directly to the Power button in the Start menu. I don't know of any other than what I gave, and that is, by anyone's estimation, not fast at all compared to the options you've mentioned. --

I think the absolutely fastest way to Rome is to make a shortcut, then assign it a hot key. But then you run the risk of creating a hot key conflict without realizing it.

Hitting Windows key then Left arrow gets me nothing. Hitting Windows key and Left Arrow at the same time gets me a list of open files. I am using Windows 10. Is this a Windows 11 key stroke?

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.

When you access a menu and you press NUM PAD 5,
JAWS normally announces the short cut letter key for an item within a given
menu. Curious as to why JAWS does not announce the short cut letter key for any
item in the Context menu, when you press WINDOWS KEY+X.
