Windows 10 Anniversary Update may have decided to disallow these options. If Alt-F4 does not work either, maybe deleting the downloaded updates will work, so forcing Windows to re-download, for which it won't have time if you shut down fast enough. See this article for a .bat file that can do that - just replace the commands starting with the call to sc.exe and up to the end with a shutdown command. Disclaimer: I have never tried doing that and I guarantee nothing. If it works I will rewrite my answer.

I didn't try the ALT-F4 method but did try locking the computer and selecting the power button. I did not have an option to just shut down. My PC is Windows 10 Pro. For #3, I ran shutdown -f -s -t 1 and it still updated.
