Since last Windows update my computer shows the Classic Shell shutdown menu in a different order.
And the "Shut down" option is not the default option. How can I modify it?
In the picture above you can see the Classic Start Menu.
Below you can see Windows 10 menu. But the problem is not related with the menu but with the fact that when I select shutdown the default option is not "shutdown" anymore as it was some months ago.
BTW, you can add additional items. Above, you can see Awake 10 hrs, a shortcut to a Do Not Sleep configuration, and Shutdown (full, no hiberfil.sys), which is useful when dual booting, to allow access to the Windows partition.
Let's hope developers keep this vital tool from Ivo Beltchev functional as Windows evolves!
I just stumbled upon this question while searching for the very same thing, and seeing that it has no accepted answer: Just search for "shutdown" in the Classic Shell settings. There you should be able to select any shutdown option as your default action.
Or find it in the "Main Menu" section of the settings.
