Enable "It's now safe to turn off PC" in Windows 10

By Emma Johnson

I have an ACPI PC but the power button is in a concealed box so I have to screw it open to press it. I have the "Restore on powerloss" enabled so it would power on once it receives power, so the PC can be turned on/off using the power strip. How do I turn on the message? If it's not possible, how do I make the restore on powerloss work even when Windows turns the H/W off?

You can't. This message only appears when ACPI is not enabled or supported in the UEFI/BIOS. However, starting with Windows Vista (it might actually be Windows 7), ACPI is required and Windows won't install or boot if ACPI is not enabled.

Maybe it's the same as the GameCube kill screen, you know, the screen where Mario has no eyes in one part, and another that says it is malfunctioning? That creeps me out,but i read this article by a kid saying one guy's computer (the OS was Windows NT Beta 2) showed the same screen, except it showed the "Restart" option. I think it's kinda like a game over screen, except it says "It's now safe to power off your PC." but with blood on the text and skulls everywhere.
