How to disable the built-in Windows 10 ads

For me, OS X has always been worse about that. Want to shutdown? Better get ready to manually close every single application, because if any of them disagree then that shutdown ain't happening.

Windows does that sometimes too though. Is there no “This program isn’t responding. Do you want to force kill it?” like thing?

There technically is, but the dialog takes too long to pop up, and sometimes never does for some inexplicable reason.

Linux: sudo shutdown -h now

It does my bidding.

I've always typed poweroff. I guess that's because of my time at Sun, since that is the fastest way to shutdown a Solaris machine.

I was always under the impression that shutdown -h ran more shutdown scripts?

I was about to say—this is how I shut down macOS when it doesn't feel like cooperating.

It would of course be nice if the GUI just consistently did what it's supposed to, but oh well...

This also works in osx, and it’s much faster than the gui based shutdown.
