Emergency Restart in Windows 8 and 10


Ever wanted to restart your computer instantly without waiting for programs to close, this can be useful if you have a lot of programs open and your computer is running extremely slow, preventing you from shutting down normally in the next few years!

If you have Windows 8 or higher, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and then click or tap the power icon in the bottom right whilst holding Ctrl to do an emergency restart!

Note: We don't recommend doing this normally as a way of restarting the computer quicker, as it force closes all your programs, and, as the name implies, is designed for emergencys.
