Shutdown command making it sleep instead?

[reverberation]

should be straightforward but I noticed recently that this command makes it sleep instead of shutdown properly. Tried 2 variations and it's the same.

Any idea why?

Code: Select all

#End::
Shutdown, 1
;Run Shutdown /S /T 1

This is explained well in the documentation. "Power down" is used to turn off the electrical power. I've pasted the instructions here.

To shutdown and power down the code would be 9 (shutdown + power down = 1 + 8 = 9). Alternatively, an expression such as 1+8 can be specified. The "Power down" value shuts down the system and turns off the power.

I just tested -9 but it still triggers sleep instead of shutting down.

if read documentation carefully, there is example of force reboot ,

Code: Select all

;#1: Force a reboot (reboot + force = 2 + 4 = 6):
Shutdown, 6

so you would need (Force + shutdown) or (Force + Power down + shutdown)
try them both I suspect one them gonna work

You could make a script something like this to shutdown your computer through cmd.

Code: Select all

F2::Runwait, cmd.exe /c shutdown /s /t 1

add /f to force shutdown
not tested for obvious reasons.
