Shutdown Trick !

Immidiate rapid shutdown windows !!
While shutting down windows open task manager(Ctr+Alt+Del),
Select shut down tab and press ' Ctrl ' key while select Turn Off from this tab.

Your windows will rapidly shut down.

I thought the CTRL key while doing the shutdown dialog was to enable the hibernate mode. Hibernating is shutting down, but saving your session so NTLDR can restore it when you switch your computer on again. Also, switching the power off/holding the machine's power button until it shuts down will do the trick.

This 'trick' doesn't shut down the PC at all and is not recommended. It's more like a 'hard reboot', and exhibits the same behaviour as pressing the reset button on the case if you have one.
