Yeah, don’t do this. Shutting down windows improperly will end up causing you all sorts of little problems. Just shut it down normally, it’s not like you have to sit there till it’s completely off…

…this any different than just holding the power button for 5 seconds?

It should be noted here that while, physically, it is a perfectly acceptable way to power down the computer, you’re still running the risk of data loss or corruption. This is basically a quick way to holding down the power button. The drives and such will still spin down normally with no damage, but any unsaved work will be lost, and if any system files are being accessed, they could become corrupt. While it is super handy, “it doesn’t affect the PC” is not quite entirely true.

This is an emergency procedure and should not be used for everyday operation. You will lose any unsaved data and there is the possibility of file system corruption.This brings Windows down “hard” rather than the graceful shutdown it was designed to do.
