This might not work if the machine is not listening for that signal. -- Brutal solution: in the submenu, select “Stop”. -- The checkbox “Overrule active shutdown tasks” means that the machine should be stopped even if a shutdown is currently ongoing. This is particularly important if you have tried to shut the machine down normally just before.
