Today, I lost the ability to restart my computer without downloading software. The only options are sleep, download software and restart, download software and shut down. I've tried the major 4 ways for a clean restart. Nothing produces a restart option, and the power icon is missing for 1 or 2 of those methods. I rebooted with the power switch, but nothing changed. And I'm concerned about the software that Win 10 is so anxious for me to download.

Can you use Ctrl + Alt + Delete and then use the power icon on the bottom right of that screen to shut down
