Besides being reassured, I have found that when I lightly tap the power button, the computer goes through the typical shut down process, as opposed to a forced shut down. Certainly that is not a scientific justification, but I am convinced it's safe.

Hi Tom,

People are saying now that ever since Windows 8.1 the power button is as
safe as choosing shutdown from the power menu.
Do you agree?

Thanks,

Rod

If they didn't changed things in Windows 8 or 10 you can Windows-D to
the desktop and then Alt-F4 to open the shutdown dialog. By default
you'll be on shutdown and only have to hit enter. If you want to reboot
(restart) hit R followed by enter.

Hth,
Tom

Just a suggestion: if you know the keystrokes to shut down your
computer, just do them without Window-Eyes if it stops talking. That's
nicer to your computer than pressing and holding the power button to
force a shut-down.

Blessings,

Linda
