Answer 1

You have two built-in options for that in 8.1.

Right click the far left Windows icon in the Taskbar > hover mouse over Shut down or sign out > Sign out, Sleep, Shut down, Restart.
Left click that icon > takes you to Start Window tiles > in upper right corner there are power options > Shut down, etc.

Answer 2

Bill,

Thanks for the quick response. I have uninstalled the start menu and my laptop has gotten quicker.

I'll try the scans later today.

Is there a place where I can find a similar shut down/restart option?

I'm currently using CTRL-ALT-DEL selecting sign out then using the power button.

Thanks again for the help.

That is NOT a Microsoft Windows 8.1 Start Menu.

It is 3rd party Software from POKKI, not from Microsoft.

Computer/Laptop Manufacturers (ACER, etc) bundle it with their "Bloatware"

I suggest that you uninstall it through Programs and Features.

Some posters believe it is associated with Malware and suggest that you also run these Scans.
