Whether you want to make it easier to shut down your Windows 10 PC without logging in or don’t want someone walking by turning off your PC, it’s good to know you can add or remove the power button accordingly. Or, if you set the value to 0, the power button will no longer show up.

There you will see a fully functional power button at the lower-right corner of the login screen. Just hit Windows key + L to lock your PC and hit Enter or swipe up for the login screen. You don’t need to log out or restart your system for it to take effect. You’ll need to create a new key and name it shutdownwithoutlogon and set the Value to 1 if you want the button to display or 0 if you don’t want it on the login screen. Then head to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System Hit the Windows key and type: regedit and hit Enter. Before making any changes to the Registry, make sure to do a full system backup or create a System Restore Point at the very least. Note: Making tweaks to the Registry isn’t for beginners or the faint of heart.
