Windows 8.1 To Let You Shut Down Directly From Start Screen
 

I am sure there are a lot of you out there that will be glad to hear this. Windows 8.1 users will be able to trigger a shut down or reboot much more quickly than in Windows 8. On a PC, simply right-click on the new Start button to display the familiar popup menu. You'll now find a Shut down command at the bottom of the menu, which lets you shut down or restart your device.
