You can shut down the Windows operating system using the function ExitWindowsEx with the EWX_SHUTDOWN or EWX_POWEROFF flag.

However, as stated in the documentation, the calling process will require the SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME privilege. See the documentation on how to allow the process to obtain that privilege.
