Fast Shutdown and Fast Restart buttons
There are some situations when we wanted the computer to shutdown or to restart in a fast manner. This can be done by using some special arguments that are forcing all processes to close and the windows to shut down.
In order to execute this commands, we’ll create two sets of instructions written in shortcuts, one for faster shutdown and another for faster restart. This are the steps:
1. Go to desktop, right click on it, new / shortcut
2. In “Type the location of the item” paste this: %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -f -s -t 0
3. Type the name of the shortcut, let’s say “Fast Shutdown” and click Finish
4. Right click on shortcut / Properties / Change Icon / OK / choose one icon from the windows icon gallery
5. Done.
For the fast restart follow again the same process but paste in “Type the location of the item”: %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -f -r -t 0
Change the name of the shortcut and choose a different icon as you wish.
Enjoy!
