I would like to do shutdown process in my script. I use Stop-Computer. But it always reboots, doesn't shut down. I tried stop-computer alone, it works, but when I applied it to my script, it reboots, doesn't shut down, can anyone give any idea please?

Refer to stop-computer, you can use -Force to force an immediate shut down of the computer.

stop-computer -computername localhost -Force

The Stop-Computer cmd lets you shuts down the local computer and remote computers(if any)

You can use the parameters of Stop-Computer to specify the authentication levels and alternate credentials, and to force an immediate shut down.

to shut down your local machine -

Stop-Computer -ComputerName localhost

-ComputerName Specifies the computers to stop. The default is the local computer.
