Microsoft is expanding the cross-device capabilities between Android and PC by introducing remote power controls through its Link to Windows service. With this latest update, users can now shut down or restart a connected computer directly from their Android smartphones.

This functionality brings added convenience to users who want to manage their desktop or laptop from another room. Whether you forgot to power down your workstation at the end of the day or need to reboot your system after an update, the feature eliminates the need to be physically present at the desk.

The addition builds on Microsoft's ongoing efforts to create a more unified ecosystem between Windows and mobile devices, expanding beyond standard tools like notification mirroring, messaging, and photo access.
