Turn off pc option gone.

After today steam update option to turn off PC is missing, also few other. Now I can only:

STOP STREAMING
TURN OFF STEAM LINK

MINIMALIZE BIG PICTURE
EXIT BIG PICTURE

I don't use beta update.

Anyway to get it back like before patch?

I have the same problem. Is there any workaround?

Can you turn off the PC the normal way via the link?

They really should test stuff before sending it out, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ noobs.

It was removed, as I remember, after new year for me. Then for one next version it was returned and then removed again.

Same problem here. It's very annoying because the pc doesn't start up automatically if I shut it off via the start menu. Next I want to play I have to go upstairs to start the pc manually.

Is there anything new?

Same issue.

Why remove this option. It was very usefull if your pc is in another room. On my Shield i can even turn on the pc with WOL.

man... I was just about to rant about this on Reddit.

goshdarnit, how does an option like this even get removed! My PC is in another room. I *loved* this option with Wake-on-LAN.

Why Valve... WHY!>?!?!?

Originally posted by Xenophobe:
it's only gone from the menu when using in-home streaming, the restart/suspend/turn off system options are there when not streaming ... so hopefully it's just an oversight that will be fixed soon.

Thanks for pointing that out, that does make it look like an accidental removal, not a purposeful removal of a great option.

+1 to hoping they actually notice the error.
