How to Shutdown Windows 8

Now I know this may sound silly, but it'll stump you too. So, when you've been playing around with Windows 8 and now you want to shutdown the machine, you'd think you'd find the Shutdown command on the new Start Menu.

No such luck ... they've just made it so you have to do a few steps, rather than just one. Typical Microsoft.

1. Click the Start Button


2. Click on the User Icon on the Start Menu


3. Choose Logoff
   


4. You are then presented with a picture with time and one random icon in the bottom left
   


5. You'd think you'd press that, but oh no, you have to left click hold and then pull up like a touch interface *ugh*


6. Then click on the Power like icon in the bottom right


7. Then select shutdown
   
   

All that just to shutdown your machine ...
