Your Windows 11 PC has a secret emergency shutdown feature - here's how to use it

zdnet.com Cesar Cadenas 2025-12-16 20:28:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Usually, whenever a new feature comes out for Windows, Microsoft advertises it widely in a blog post to let everyone know. Or if they don't, people discover the feature soon after an update. However, a helpful feature sometimes slips through the cracks, only to be unearthed years later. Also: Hate Windows 11?

Ask any homeowner: renovation projects are no fun at all. From finding a contractor to determining a fair price, the process is rife with uncertainty. Plenty of startups have popped up to help homeowners tackle electrification projects, including installing solar panels and replacing gas furnaces with heat pumps.

The Russian state hacker group known as Turla has carried out some of the most innovative hacking feats in the history of cyberespionage, hiding their malware's communications in satellite connections or hijacking other hackers' operations to cloak their own data extraction. When they're operating on their home turf, however, it turns out they've tried an equally remarkable, if more straightforward, approach: They appear to have used their control of Russia's internet service providers to direct

Amazon’s New ‘War of the Worlds’ Features a Head-Scratching Twist

Even before War of the Worlds entered the public domain a decade ago, H.G. Wells’ alien-invasion tale had been adapted over and over. Steven Spielberg’s 2005 movie is probably the best-remembered cinematic version, though Orson Welles’ 1938 radio broadcast, said to have sparked panic among more gullible listeners, is still the most famous. A new version has arrived this week, directed by Rich Lee (making his feature debut after many music videos and commercials) and starring Ice Cube. Set very

Currently, only 17% of Starlink users currently meet FCC broadband speeds, yet altered BEAD program rules could direct significant federal funds to Starlink as the lowest-cost option.
