    That sounds like a pretty rare problem

    Why can you not shutdown or restart on the locked screen on windows and at least some linux distributions? The button is there, but its only used to suspend the pc

      ?

      You totally can, on every computer I’ve ever owned running Windows since NT (and most running some variant of Linux). The only reason it would not be there is if some turkey disabled it in Group Policy for some reason. The power button offers you power off, restart, suspend, and hibernate if you have hibernation enabled.

        Could this be different depending on what type/brand of pc you have?

        I remember being annoyed at having to log in to shut down my laptop after accidentally opening it
