Tired of pressing restart instead of shutdown in Windows 10 Start menu and having to wait for your PC to reboot? WinPower aims to solve this issue by providing a very simple yet powerful utility to shutdown, restart or hibernate your Windows computer.
- A single place where to shutdown, restart or hibernate your system
- Wait for some seconds before shutting down, reboot or hibernate
- Cancel operation
- Advanced Restart (only for Windows 8, 8.1 and 10)
- Choose a default option to pre-select when opening WinPower
You can download WinPower from 'Release' tab here on GitHub or at my website: https://www.francescosorge.com/fwlink/winpower
If you want to be sure you will no longer be using Windows owns power off options, you may want to hide them from Start menu.
N.B.: You should be doing this operation only if you're familiar with Windows Registry Editor.
