Any unsaved data will be lost. Use this only as a last resort.

There is an emergency restart option hidden in Windows OS. To activate it:

  • Press ctrl+alt+del buttons.
  • On the new sceen, hold down ctrl while click at the (power) icon (at the bottom right).
  • This bring will bring up the Emergency restart option.

This might come in handy if you don’t have access to the power button for some reasons.

This is a slightly better option than forcing a hard shutdown by pressing the power reset button.
