Power Options GUI

Overview

Windows sometimes does not fully shut down or restart your PC properly, leaving background processes running, preventing a clean power cycle, or causing slow startups.

This program was created to provide a simple, reliable, and modern GUI for performing full shutdowns and restarts on Windows PCs. With just a click, you can fully power off or restart your computer safely, without relying on the sometimes inconsistent Windows default methods.

Features

• Shutdown: Fully turn off your PC immediately.

• Restart: Fully restart your PC immediately.

• Cancel: Exit the application without taking any action.

• Modern GUI: Dark, futuristic theme with neon-style buttons.

• Icons included: Buttons feature clear icons for easy recognition.

• Standalone exe: Can be run as a single-file executable without needing Python installed.

Installation / Running

Download the program folder, which includes:

• PowerOptions.exe (or Python script PowerOptions.pyw)

• Icons/ folder (for the button icons)

If using the Python script:

• Make sure you have Python 3.x, CustomTkinter and Pillow installed:

 

  [CMD]> pip install customtkinter pillow

• Run the script:

  [CMD]> python PowerOptions.pyw

If using the .exe:

• Double-click the PowerOptions.exe

• The GUI will open immediately.

Usage

Open the program.

Click the button corresponding to your desired action:

• Shutdown: Fully powers off your PC.

• Restart: Fully restarts your PC.

• Cancel: Closes the program.

Enjoy a fast and reliable shutdown or restart without leaving background processes running.

Note

• For the .exe version, Windows may show a generic Python icon in Explorer.

• To fix the icon, you can create a shortcut to the exe and assign the PowerButton.ico as the shortcut icon.

• Make sure to run the program as a normal user; administrative permissions may be required on some systems for shutdown/restart commands.
