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,

    • LibreWolf 140.0.2-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. Notes: To receive automatic updates, you may refer to the unofficial LibreWolf-WinUpdater that employs a scheduled task to accomplish the same.

    • At least it doesn't reset your defaults lol. Back to Bing, MSN and Copilot lol. Wait, that's a feature, not a bug?
    • Exactly what I was going to say, lmao. Pro-grade where? I have the S24 Ultra and there are only marginal differences between that series and the S25 series. Hell, even the S23 and S22 series is similar. Samsung stopped trying years ago.
    • Are you asking us or telling us my friend?
    • Performance and bloating is my main concern.
