Feature Request: "Allow Shut Down While Locked"

Issue #3767 new
Former user created an issue

Hello Jason and everyone,

I want to ask please if we can have "Allow Shut Down While Locked" in the BigBox Security section (see the photo attachment for more clarification please).

here's my scenario: I built a BigBox Gaming PC and located it in the living room so my younger brother (7 years old) and sister (9 years old) could use it daily for gaming. of course I locked it with a Pin Password so they can't mess with anything. it's easy for them to turn on the PC by using the PC power button and I made the PC boot directly into BigBox for them.

they always ask me the same question "how we turn it off once we finish playing?"

the only thing I could find is the "Allow Exit While Locked" which doesn't help my scenario because if they use it they will end up on the Windows Desktop which have nothing but a wallpaper. I also disabled the PC power button Shut Down function from the Windows control panel to prevent my 3 years old sister from shut it down when she mess with it sometimes while they playing.

as you can see folks, I'm hopeless! lol! that's why I thought maybe I should ask for this option if we could have it in a future BigBox update.

I really love my brother and sister concerns about our home energy saving and the safety and the lifespan of the home hardware like this Gaming PC. that's why they want this option.

I wish we could have this option for these lovely kids :)

sorry for the long story. thanks in advance and best regards for all.

Respectfully, James.
