why cant you disable the shut down by changing the keys bindings for Alt+f4 key?

Navigate to registry editor by typing regedit `

Navigate to the following registry location

HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> SOFTWARE --> MICROSOFT --> WINDOWS –> POLICIES –> EXPLORER

Then on the right side of Registry Editor, Right Click your mouse to open a list.

Now go to NEW –> Dwood Value.

Name this value as “NoClose“

After creating click on it and give Value Data 1

now reboot your pc ,next time cant shutdown your pc

hope it helps

  • Out of date path. Also, just copy and paste the actual path with \ and everything. Now someone can just paste that into regedit instead of laboriously clicking.

  • The correct path for the NoClose value would be HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer but anyhow, I don't think this answers the question as it seems this prevent Shutdown altogether, and not just from Alt+F4.

  • This is too aggressive; it also hides the shutdown options on the Win-X menu. After activating this, I only was able to shut down the machine by using an administrator console.
