An information processing apparatus including a push switch turns off a power supply state of a main body and starts shutdown processing when a first user's operation is performed on the push switch in a normal state of the apparatus. When a second user's operation is performed on the push switch during the shutdown processing, the power supply state of the main body is switched between on and off. If the power supply state of the main body is the on state when the shutdown processing is completed, first processing for restarting the main body is performed, and if the power supply state of the main body is the off state when the shutdown processing is completed, second processing for stopping power supply to the main body is performed.
