How to disable Anyway Shutdown mode on Windows 10

When using the Shutdown mode, all power on all components of the computer will be disconnected and you can no longer use or operate that computer.

In addition to the default Shutdown mode, there is also a special Shutdown mode on Windows 10 that is Shutdown Anyway. This mode works when we use the Shutdown mode to turn off the machine, but there are still some programs that work on the computer.

This mode is useful to prevent the computer from shutting down when you are working with programs that you have not yet saved, such as when you are editing a document, for example, when you have not saved or have completely disabled the Word application. The operating system will not allow you to turn off your computer immediately to help minimize data loss.

In this article, I will show you how to disable the Shutdown Anyway mode on Windows 10 so that there will be no more notifications appear when you activate Shutdown mode.
