Not any longer sadly, kinda amazing how windows has that much control, I always thought it was a way to brute force a shutdown when you can’t do anything else

Edit: I have the realized the error of my ways thanks to moody, 5sec hold on the power button forces a shutdown, pressing it once is just a software one

Pressing the power button once does a software shutdown. Holding the power button for about 5 seconds will do a hard power off.

It baffles me how many people don't know that.

My Mom didn't know and Windows was stuck, not even the clock ticking. She had to wait until I got home and powered it off.
