Windows 10: All regular users have lost "Shut Down" and "Restart" from their power button. It only...

When logged in as a regular user, the power button only shows "Lock". The "Sleep", "Restart" and "Shut Down" are missing. These are Domain Joined computers, and the only Domain Policies are "Default Domain Policy" and "Default Domain Controller". I did not set this up, so I reset the group policies. There should not be anything there. If I log in as the Domain Admin, all the options are there. I have been searching the internet for the past week with no luck. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Use the power button to turn off the computer at Welcome screen

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to turn off computer at the Welcome screen using the power button.



Ideally, if no user has logged in to the computer, the computer will shut down by pressing the power button. However, I would suggest you to check the settings for power button. Refer the steps mentioned below and see if that helps:

1. Press Windows key + X, and select
   Power Options.
   
2. Click on Additional power settings.
   
3. Now, click on Choose what power button does from the left pane.
   
4. Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable.
   
5. Select Shut down from the drop down for
   When I press the power button.
   

If you are using Windows 10 Pro, you may also want to check the Group Policy Settings, refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type gpedit.msc and click on
   OK.
   
3. Navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Power Management\Button Settings.
   
4. On the right pane, double click on Select the Power button action (plugged in), click on
   Enabled and select Shutdown from the drop down for
   Power Button Action.
   
5. Repeat step 4 for Select the Power button action (on battery).
   
6. Restart the computer.
   

If a user has logged in to the computer and then logs off from the computer, the computer will shut down by pressing the power button. However, if a user is logged in to the computer and locks the computer using the
Windows key + L combination, the power button will not shutdown the computer. You will have to use the power button on the lock screen to shut down the computer.



If you do not see the shutdown button, please refer the article Shutdown:
Allow system to be shut down without having to log on.



If the issue persists, I would suggest you to provide a feedback in the
Feedback Hub. The Feedback hub lets you tell Microsoft
about any problems you run in to while using Windows 10 and send suggestions to help us improve your Windows experience.

restart and kernel-power event

Hi,



The kernel power event ID 41 error occurs when the computer is shut down, or it restarts unexpectedly. When a computer that is running Windows starts, a check is performed to determine whether the computer was shut down cleanly. If the computer was not shut
down cleanly, a Kernel Power Event 41 message is generated.



Try this, see if it works for you:

• Go to "Settings"
• Select "System"
• Select "Power and Sleep"
• Select "Additional Power Settings"
• Select "Choose what the power buttons do"
• Select "Change settings currently available"
• Ensure that "Turn on fast start up" is deselected (unticked)
• Click on "Save Changes"

Restart your computer after performing the steps.



Let us know if the above steps resolved the issue.
