Create shutdown tile in Windows 10

With a shutdown tile, you can turn off your PC with just one click. Microsoft does not provide a suitable app. Therefore you have to create the tile yourself:

1. Switch to the desktop and right-click on a vacant space.
2. In the context menu, select the "New" option and then "Link".
3. A new window is opening up. Enter the command "shutdown / s / t 0" and click on "Next".
4. Enter a clear name for the link name, such as "Shutdown". Of course, you can also name the tile differently.
5. Complete the process with "Finish".
6. Finally click with the right mouse button on the new link and select the entry "Pin to 'Start'".
