Change default Shutdown options in Alt+F4 Dialog box in Windows 10.
Hello Lovely viewer,
In this video Working with Windows 10 is getting pretty simple these days, thanks to the tricks and tweaks available. All of us have seen that with every new major release, Windows OS is evolving. But what we miss the most is the basic tweaks we used to do when Windows XP was at its peak. In this article, I will show you how to change the default Shutdown options in the Alt+F4 Dialog box in Windows 10.
Alt+F4 shortcut is one of the most used shortcuts in the Windows environment. If anyone knows how to handle a system using shortcuts, he/she can easily handle it without even touching the mouse. These shortcuts are easy to use and make our work faster too. While using Alt+F4, a dialog box opens up with Restart (or any other) as a pre-selected option. Today we will see how to change it to Shutdown as a default.
Registry Path:-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Right-click on the Advanced registry tree and click on New. Now, select DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Name save:- Start_PowerButtonAction.
To make option as default, you can use:-
4 to make Restart as the default action
256 to make Switch user as the default action
1 to make Sign out as the default action
16 to make Sleep as the default action
64 to make Hibernate as the default action.
2 to make Shut down as the default action.
Thank you !!!
