I've got a strange problem. Until about a week ago I had as my working computer HP Pavilion with Windows 10. Over time it seems to have become much longer to boot. I began thinking perhaps one of the four processors died out. So, I bought a much faster Dell machine., It came with Windows 11. I cannot find a way to shut it off through software. In Windows 10, in the lower left corner, exists a small pop up. I can invoke it, find a proper button and a choice of shutting off will appear: Restart, Shut down and Sleep. It is a very convenient arrangement. Where is a similar option in Windows 11? Did they forgot to implement it? Now I do everything hard way, by pressing a hidden button on the left of the computer frame. Will appreciate guidance. Thank you, AboutFace 22 ( talk) 14:20, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
I did find a tiny button on the task bar which has given/shown the shutdown popup once. Then it stopped working and only a brief flash appears. I wonder if I should install Windows 10 and wipe out Windows 11 for good? Need advice. Thank you, AboutFace 22 ( talk) 20:55, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
Ctrl-Alt-Delete
, choose Windows Task Manager and click Performance tab. There is a 99.99% likelihood they all are there. On the other hand, your original problem (Windows gets slower) has been a constant complaint since Windows 95. It is a very well-known symptom. I would suggest that Windows 10 on the HP could just need a good clean-out of all the accumulated junk that even a year's full-time use gathers. A decent local PC repairer would ideally make a call-out to your house and go through everything in the OS/installed apps/browser with you, for not much more than an hour's work. As for Win 11, there seems to be a skin for that: search for "make windows 11 look like windows 10"
