Turning off and turning on your computer may be one of the easiest tasks you can do on Windows 10, Microsoft also included a new interactive way to turn off your device with a “Slide to shutting your PC” But they are usually only possible on tablets and Windows 10 Mobile devices when you press and hold the power button.

If you want to get the same shutdown experience on your laptop or desktop, you can create a quick shortcut using the appropriate command to shut down your computer in a slide on Windows 10, Even on devices that do not support the touch feature ;)

Right-click an empty space on the desktop, select New, and click Shortcut.

Copy and paste the following code: %windir%\System32\SlideToShutDown.exe

Click Next.

Enter a descriptive name for the shortcut (for example, SlideShutdown).

Click Finish to complete the task!

Now you will notice the appearance of this shortcut in the desktop.

What you need now is to double-click it and you will see a “Slide” screen and once it is pulled down the computer will turn off.

Additionally, you can right-click the shortcut and select “Install on the taskbar” to get a faster access to the Touch or Mouse shutdown experience.
