This has happened to me on a couple of occasions, and not sure why. But I got around a hard shut down, by clicking on switching user, and on the sign in page, you have the option there in the right hand corner of restart, or shutting down and other options. At least mine does. As for the loss of the button, I did sudo aptitude update then sudo aptitude upgrade, and it seemed to bring the button and options back. Have no idea if it was the right thing to do, but that worked for me.
