Recent upgrade lost icon

Post by dkwflight »

HI
In the lower left of my screen I used to have an icon that could be clicked on to shut down or restart among other things.
The Icon has gone away. I would like to get it back.
I dislike hitting the power button to shut off the computer. Little harm I am sure because I have been using a SSD for some time.
