How Do I Turn Off My ASUS Vivobook?

To turn off your ASUS Vivobook, press and hold the power button until the power light goes off. This will initiate a shutdown of the device.

Here's a breakdown of the process and some additional options:

• The Power Button Method: This is the most direct way to shut down your ASUS Vivobook. Simply locate the power button (usually on the side or top of the laptop) and press and hold it down. After a few seconds, the power light should turn off, indicating the device is shutting down. This method should be used as a last resort if the below methods are not working, as it can sometimes cause data loss if applications are abruptly stopped.

• Shut Down Via the Start Menu (Recommended):

  1. Click the Start button (the Windows icon) in the lower-left corner of the screen.
  2. Click the Power icon.
  3. Select Shut down from the menu that appears. This is the preferred method as it allows Windows to close applications properly.

• Using the Alt + F4 Shortcut:

  1. Ensure that the desktop is the active window (minimize all other windows).
  2. Press Alt + F4 on your keyboard.
  3. Select Shut down from the dropdown menu, and click OK.

• Using the Command Prompt:

  1. Search for "cmd" or "Command Prompt" in the Windows search bar.
  2. Right-click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator".
  3. Type shutdown /s /t 0 and press Enter. This command will immediately shut down the computer.

It is generally recommended to use the Start Menu or Alt + F4 methods to shut down your ASUS Vivobook, as these methods allow the operating system to properly close applications and save data. Holding the power button should be reserved for situations where the other methods are not working.
