Keyboard shortcuts you can use to shut down Windows laptops/ PCs and MacBook

Most PC users have encountered a frozen computer where the mouse doesn’t respond and a normal shutdown is not possible. In these situations, the usual solutions involve forcefully unplugging the power cord (in case of desktops) or holding the power button. However, there’s a safer and more controlled method: keyboard shortcuts.

Keyboard shortcuts offer several advantages.

They allow you to work more efficiently and provide an alternative shutdown method when the mouse is unresponsive. Notably, using keyboard shortcuts to power down your PC doesn’t harm your system and all files as well as folders remain intact.
