How to exit the WinPE tool?

Thread needs solution

Hello Everyone, I use Acronis True Image happilly for years now and I have justed upgraded to Acronis 2020. My question is very basic : I am testing the Acronis Survival Kit (while currently my Tablet PC is running well) and I was able to create a back-up on an SSD connected on USB. I am able to boot in the recovery environment, to locate my backup, and then I just want to quit properly the tool in order to power off my PC and remove safely my SSD. I close the Acronis True Image 2020 window, I then enter "exit" oon the DOS window where wpeinit was launched, but I don't what to do from here in order to remove safely my SSD... As this looks as a DOS window, can I just unplug it (as I assume there is no access to it from here)? Should I puxh an hold for 10 seconds the PWR on/off button (I am not very happy to do so a) for my tablet PC and b) for the SSD... Your help is very welcome! Guy.

Guy, normally just closing the main ATI window in the rescue media environment will lead to the computer being restarted.

The other approach is to type the command:  Wpeutil Shutdown in the black command prompt window.  Note: just typing exit will only close that window.

I X ed out of the acronis recovery removed the USB drive and typed exit into the power shell and it rebooted normally.
