Press the S key to enter sleep mode.
Press the U key to shutdown (Shutdown).
Most users know that pressing Alt + F4 will close the current window, just like clicking the X button in the upper right corner. However, if you are on the desktop and are not using any windows, this key combination will direct the user to the Windows Shutdown dialog box. In this dialog box, you can use the arrow keys to select Sleep or Shutdown mode from the drop-down menu, and then press the Enter key.

This is a more complicated way than the two above, but the advantage of it is that it only needs to do the settings once. From the next time, you just need to press the installed key combination to turn off or switch to sleep mode for PC.
The first step is to right-click on an empty area on the Desktop (desktop) and select New -> Shortcut .
In the Create Shortcut dialog box, enter one of the following two lines in the Type the location of the item box and click Next .
To turn off the computer:
shutdown.exe -s -t 00 -f
To enter sleep mode:

Name the shortcut file you just created, then click Finish .
Next, right-click on the shortcut file just created on the desktop and select Properties . In the dialog box that appears, find the Shortcut key line and enter a character you want in the box to place the shortcut key combination. This key combination will have the default form Ctrl + Alt + * (* is the key you set).
Click OK to save the settings. From now on, as long as you press the keyboard shortcut you set, you will run the shortcut file -> execute the file's command to shutdown or sleep. Very simple and fast, isn't it?
