My computer does not shut down
It is recommended that you shut down your computer using the Turn Off Computer command on the

Start menu. Using other methods, including those listed here, may result in loss of unsaved data.
If the Turn Off command does not work properly, proceed as follows:
1 Turn off the computer by pressing <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete>. If you have not changed the default
settings, the Windows Task Manager dialog box appears.
2 Click Shut Down and then Turn Off.
3 If this does not work, press the power button and hold it for at least four seconds.
This turns off the power.
4 Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and remove the battery pack from your computer.

<Ctrl>+Alt>+<Delete> once, go to the Applications tab and select the application that is locking your
system, and then click End Task.
❑ If the above method does not work or you do not know which application is locking your system, restart
the computer. On the Windows

taskbar, click the Start button, click Turn Off Computer, and then
select Restart.
