Hi Les,
One way of determining whether a quiet machine has shut down is to press the open button on the CD drive. The door will only open if the machine is running. This technique can also be useful if there is a lot of background noise.

Nick, the problem is that the machines today don't make a sound when they
power off.  ON top of that, I have a hearing loss, so that complicates
things.

Subject: Re: Windows 10 Sounds

According to this list, there is no startup or shutdown sound in
Windows-10.  I just use my WE sounder to reassure me that the process is
beginning, then I remain very quiet  and patient (which is not easy for
me to do) and wait until I hear the computer turn itself off.
