    Alt-F4 works too, at least once you’re at the desktop. I’m not sure if it works on Metro “Start Menu”

      Thanks for commenting Jason!

      You are right of course, Alt+F4 does provide a shut down menu when used from the Desktop. However, it does not work from the Metro UI which is why we addressed it in this how to.
