Cortana will detect the command automatically and will ask for a confirmation whether you want to restart or shutdown the PC. You can confirm by saying yes or in case you want to cancel it, you can say cancel or no to Cortana.

    I got the Fall Creators Update but using Cortana makes me feel kinda silly because it’s like I’m talking to myself haha.

    I got the update, and neither “sleep” nor “shotdown” works for me.
