Which command should you use to safely turn off a Windows 10 computer from the command line?
shutdown /s /t 0
poweroff /h
halt
exit
shutdown /s /t 0 - This is correct. The shutdown command with the /s switch initiates a full shutdown of the system. The /t 0 switch sets the delay to 0 seconds, meaning the shutdown occurs immediately.
poweroff /h - The poweroff command is not a native Windows command. It is commonly used in Linux to power off a system. In Windows, this command would not work.
halt - The halt command is used in Unix/Linux systems to stop the operating system. It is not a valid command in Windows.
exit - The exit command is used to close the Command Prompt or terminal window, not to shut down the computer.
