    The Start button in Windows 11 is the Windows logo with four squares on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. By default, it is centered on the taskbar, usually just to the left of the Search box.

    To shut down, restart, or sleep the PC:

    1. Select the Start button.
    2. Select Power.
    3. Choose Shut down, Restart, or Sleep.

    If the Start button is not in the center, its position may have been changed:

    1. Right-click the taskbar and select Taskbar settings.
    2. Expand Taskbar behaviors.
    3. Check Taskbar alignment.

    Another way to access power options:

    • Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, then select the Power icon in the lower-right corner.
    • Or right-click the Start button and select Shut down or sign out.
