    Hello,

    Thank you for your question.

    Other Note, are trying shutdown remotely ? if yes then you might need to adjust Local GPO settings as below

    You need to have “Force shutdown from remote computer” permissions for your account on the computer you’re trying to restart.

    Go to run -> type in: secpol.msc -> local policies -> User Rights Assignment -> force shutdown from a remote system, add your account to it…this works best if you’re attached to a domain so that both computers know what the account is.
