Is it safe to shut down my laptop by pushing the power button?

Is it safe to shut down my laptop my pressing and holding the power button? I do that sometimes instead of having to go in programs and then turn off computer and then waiting for it to shut down. When I press and hold the power button it shuts down immediately…Yeah so is it safe?

Answer #1

When mine does that it complains once I turn it back on-the whole “was not shut down properly”. But if yours doesn’t do that, I’d say it’s fine to do.

Answer #2

no; very danger

Answer #3

yeah its fine to do, just make sure save everything quickly lol

Answer #4
