ALT-F4 shutdown not working since feature update 1903


Recommended Posts

When shutting down, I usually hold alt-F4 until it popups the shutdown dialog. That seems to broken since I did the latest feature update, alt-F4 still closes apps but wont popup the shutdown dialog when im on DESKTOP. Anyone else with this issue or knows how to resolve it?

I'm on 1903 and the popup (which btw I haven't seen in years!) works for me too.

Just curious, why don't you just press the power button on your PC? Modern PC's use it to power down properly as well, and that's how I always turn off my PC. Maybe it is not in a good spot to do it, just curious!

Hello,

 

I just tried this on a few machines running Windows 10 Version 1903 (2 × Windows 10 Pro (x64) [one physical, one virtual], 1 × Windows 10 Home (x64) [one physical]) and the Shut Down Windows dialog popped up each time.  Perhaps something has captured the Alt+F4 key chord and is using it for some other operation?

 

Regards,

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.2.3 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.2.3 changelog: All GPUs: Fixed hardware rescan issue when cleaning all GPUs without restarting or shutting down UI: Added Guru3D mention in the About section. General: Various fixes and enhancements.

    • That would be nice, if excel could refresh pivot tables without bugs. Frequently you refresh a pivot and all parameters get lost. Now this will happen automatically. Bravo MS!
    • If one could ever put all the crap of the world in one box, that would be Microsoft.
