shuting down computer

[Laurent Maillard]

Hi there,

I'm facing a problem with my win11 / MPF 0.57 pinball machine...

In the past, I used successfully the built in MPF shutdown_computer fonctionality...

(I was using it in a win10 based machine.)

Today, I'm trying to use the same fonctionality on my win 11 machine and it doesn't work...

-> Does anybody knows if something that have been changed between those two versions of windows that prevent this fonctionality to work properly ?

-> Does anybody use this fonctionality successfully ???

Thanks for your feedback.

I did not know that this was an option. The last game, I wired the computer power button to a button under the right front leg where a power switch used to be. I don't have a Windows 11 machine to test this on.

Hi Thomas,
I also installed a remote button to turn on the PC.

But I have to say that having the ability to cleanly shut down MPF ​​and then the PC using a key combination seemed pretty cool to me...

In the end, it's not that serious, at worst I'll turn off the PC with this button...

Thanks for your feedback
