Not really. If -f (force) is removed windows will shutdown similar to pressing the shutdown button and will wait for your input regarding open programs. -f is needed to just just “do it” with no hesitation or response from the user.
/t <xxx> Sets the time-out period before shutdown to xxx seconds. The valid range is 0-315360000 (10 years), with a default of 30. If the timeout period is greater than 0, the /f parameter is implied.
If -t is specified -f is assumed and redundant, but also it will try to do graceful l, but with a patience of a cranky toddler

Straight from the doc
/t <xxx> Sets the time-out period before shutdown to xxx seconds. The valid range is 0-315360000 (10 years), with a default of 30. If the timeout period is greater than 0, the /f parameter is implied.
Sooo when you use the prompt
You would need the -f since we defined the timeout period as 0. Because:
Yeah fair enough -f -s does the same thing as -t 0?
I don’t trust windows enough, I always input both parameters
Ah nice. I have only used it with -t 0. I’m glad to have learn something today.
