See if you can go to - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Start\HideShutDown and change the value from 1 to 0. It should show the Shutdown button. Note as you are working with registry make sure you back-up.

thanks askaresh, that helps but was really looking for microsoft to provide option to turn off device and "disable" it so the user can't restart it. Put device in some type of maintenance mode where it not connected to network. Looked to disable the nic from the associated azure resource group but could not find anything.. Maybe they can expand options under the 'cloud under review' feature to just be able to disable it temporarily.
- I agree from a feature standpoint it will be required. if there is enough customer's requesting the feature it will come through within the product at some standpoint.
