simple
you press it once it restarts

Answer 2

You check first the menu coming out when you are turning off your computer. Maybe it was been highlight to restart key instead of turn off key. You can see it that there is a 3 choosing key for you to avoid clicking back again when you are mistaken. Those are restart, turn off and cancel keys.

Answer 3

I think you changed your power option settings accidentally.
Try this ...
go to 'Control panel'
select 'Power option'
and look for the option 'when i press turn on button'
select Turn OFF instead of Restart or Hibernate.

Hope I helped you.

The simple answer here is that you must hold in the button for an extended period to turn your computer clear OFF almost all machines have this feature.
You have to hold it in until the light goes clear out.
