well no. In fact I WILL NOT recommend doing like that. The best way is to click on the windows icon and close it from there .

Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, then tap Settings. (If you're using a mouse, point to the bottom-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, then click Settings.)

Tap or click Power, then tap or click Shut down.

To turn off your computer without clicking the power button, you can use these methods:

Shut Down from the Start Menu (Windows): Click the Start button, select the Power icon, and choose "Shut Down."

Shut Down from the Apple Menu (Mac): Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner and select "Shut Down."

Use Keyboard Shortcuts: On Windows, you can press Alt + F4 with no windows open to access the Shut Down dialog. On Mac, you can press Control + Option + Command + Eject/Power Button simultaneously.

Terminal or Command Prompt: You can use command-line options like shutdown /s /f /t 0 on Windows or sudo shutdown -h now on Linux to shut down.

Physical Power Button on the Computer: Some computers have a physical power button that you can press and hold for a few seconds to initiate a shutdown. However, this isn't recommended as it's like a hard reset and may not allow your computer to close running programs properly.

Always try to use the software-based methods first to ensure a clean shutdown o

f your computer.
