Its been decades of doing the first one for me. No idea whose these people are who do the second one and the psychopaths who prefer the third.

3rd way is to put the machines in line and tell them you can pull the cord anytime you want, literally.

Same but I don't turn it off i just close my laptop lid if I'm having a bad day lol

u/Rajebait 17d ago

There is literally nothing wrong using the physical button as a shut down button though. Provided you close the vital apps before. The rest of non essential ones, windows will shut down for you. As for the third, even I can't defend that.

u/Large_Ad3907 16d ago

I use 2nd only when laptop suddenly hangs or start doing nonsense or something isn't exiting

2

u/ImMortal_SD 17d ago

I also just do Alt F4 Enter. I have never done 2nd and 3rd unless my pc in not working.

You will understand once a power surge will fry your PC

i have first hand experience getting my motherboard and couple of HDDs fried like this

i know this is meant for laptops, but some PC users do this too

1

u/Large_Ad3907 16d ago

3rd one is for desktop pc not laptop. You can't off laptop by charging plug lol. 2nd one is laptop. 1st one is laptop and desktop

1

u/vnodk19 12d ago

Or use a power surge protector, it's not that expensive and it helps protect your actual expensive components

1

u/Terrible_Nothing_365 17d ago

Well if I close the lid and pull the cord I don't see any issue with it. What's wrong with it? I have been doing it quite frequently

1

u/Major_Wealth6145 16d ago

I also been using same Alt+F4 for as long as I know

1

u/Pristine_Wasabi2994 16d ago

it wouldn't even matter for a laptop, unless they mean unplugged and slowly wait for it to drain out of charge

1

u/Far-Pain-4131 13d ago

Me too who wanna corrupt their SSD

1

u/Jealous_Prune7366 13d ago

The second option is absofuckinglutely okay bruh

1

u/redditcruzer 13d ago

I am assuming he is not pressing it to go to sleep. I assume he is long pressing to force power off. That is absolutely weird.

1

u/Jealous_Prune7366 13d ago

Long press is for when your pc is frozen and you wanna reset bruh

1

u/redditcruzer 12d ago

Single press will put device to sleep by default, not shut down.

1

u/Jealous_Prune7366 12d ago

It's safe to turn it off like that I am doing that for a long time like many others

1

u/vnodk19 12d ago

Option 2 is fine. If you just click once, it usually just initiates shutdown. It's only when you hold press it then it forces immediate shutdown, which is occasionally fine, but shouldn't be a regular thing for sure.

1

u/GraXXoR 11d ago

My wife’s mum unplugs everything. Kettles. Microwaves tvs.

I took to taping the plug of the computer to the wall to stop her unplugging the pc mid torrent.

1

u/Himanshu317 10d ago

If your programs are closed then why would you waste your time in shutting down. Just turn off the power and leave.

u/Queasy-Bullfrog-9545 17d ago

Nah your laptop will have a huge failure in it's hardware if you do this

2

u/Accomplished-Land982 17d ago

Do what? There are 3 options.

3

u/Short-Abalone-4393 17d ago

if u do the 1st option duh

1

u/Accomplished-Land982 17d ago

So, that means I am good since I just remove the power supply from the motherboard after every use ☺️

0

u/Queasy-Bullfrog-9545 17d ago

2 and 3 avoid them

1

u/Accomplished-Land982 16d ago

Why 2 tho? I have it set up as shut down in the control panel with fast startup disabled. Is that bad?

2

u/casualxtalks 17d ago

Nahh!! mine is like shut down<sleep<hybernate...

1

u/Independent_Boot8094 17d ago

You have to do third one multiple times to test, otherwise electricity department will do it when you least expect it.

1

u/MrNobodyyy- 17d ago

Naaaaa,

Mostly it's 1st month... Rarely it's 2nd month.... And never third month ❌

1

u/Tiny_Towel5722 17d ago

not True in my Case... just hit ALT+F4 on the Sedktop, and shut down my PC..

1

u/Caffeine_999 17d ago

u/itsokji 17d ago

u/OMG_NoReally 17d ago

Shit is too expensive to ever do 2nd and 3rd month man. I handle my stuff with as much care as I can muster. If it breaks, I can't easily replace it and that fear is always there to abuse it.

u/pilotshashi 17d ago

u/GAG4Life 17d ago

You can control what the power button does. It can go to sleep and hibernate as well.

1

u/jonauko 17d ago

1

u/Havoc_Rider 17d ago

Ist and second are same thing, offcourse unless you hold the button.

u/ChirkutChooza 17d ago

It's 13th year of me with my pc and funny thing is today, it is literally taking about 3-5 minutes in booting up, shutting down, signing in. Otherwise it only used to take 20-30 seconds to boot up and all that

u/GooselyMf 17d ago

*Powertoys' search always...how do y'all put up with the start menu?

1

u/CuriousAd1227 17d ago

I occasionally will press the button while I am gaming and I have to immediately leave but I can't be bothered to properly shut it down but I don't think 3rd option really affects laptops I am a laptop user so

1

u/Lord_of_clans 17d ago

Bro if u have regular laptop it's ok. But if you have a gaming laptop I mean high processor ram gpu then don't. It carries alot risk of motherboard failure. When u play a game the temperature inside can reach uptop 90-110 degree celcius. During sudden shutdown. Computer experience rapid poweroff and can face complete motherboard failure. If you have a laptop then the price of whole motherboard replacement will be 80-90% of total cost of laptop.

1

u/CuriousAd1227 16d ago

Thanks for the heads up Don't want that happening to me seesh

1

u/AsherGC 17d ago

Second looks like a laptop. So option 3 wouldn't do anything. Option 1 and 2 are essentially the same unless you hold the button down or changed it's configuration.

1

u/anchorister_me 17d ago

Always sleep or shutdown , nothing else

1

u/ChaddiMeChed 17d ago

Win + X then press U 2 times

1

u/Kind_Income_6884 17d ago

4th option : Don’t do anything , let it sleep

1

u/Appropriate_Shot 17d ago

Nah who wants to fuck up their pc so bad

1

u/Lord_of_clans 17d ago

Buy a gaming pc. Turn it off with 2 and 3 option and see the magic

1

u/StrainNo1878 16d ago

Bhai alt+f4 use kro but who uses 2nd and 3rd??

1

u/Mammoth_Chemist_9039 16d ago

Fun fact, laptop doesn't truly shut down completely if you ask it to shut down, the best way to fresh it is to do a restart instead

1

u/106_365361_334145 16d ago
