Win10 more clicks to shut down than Win7 - any way to change this?

[Robert P]

I believe there's at least one more click needed to get to the shutdown command on Win10 compared to Win7 - is there a way to change this?

If you download and install Openshell, it will give you a start menu like Windows 7 and prior.

Open Shell

Classic style Start Menu for Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11. Reborn of Classic Shell.

After installation, click on the start button then wait for a window to open and then just click ok on that, then click on the start button again to see the start menu popup.

Even without openshell, just right click the start button>Shut down or sign out>Shut down
Two clicks

Yes as per above just right click then over. Alternatively win+d alt+f4 then enter, which is more steps but you can press them super fast.

Why not just configure the power button on the case to shutdown the computer
