We will be showing you how to restart using Windows 11,
but it works exactly the same on Windows 10.
First, click the start button to open the start menu,
or press the Windows key on your keyboard.
Then click the power icon.
Finally, click "Restart."
This method is likely the best option
if your applications freeze
or your computer's processing speeds take a sudden dip.
The pop-up window will override
whatever is running on your screen.
Press control, alt, and delete
at the same time on your keyboard.
Then click the power icon.
Finally, click "Restart."
If the control, alt, delete method doesn't work,
you can also shut down the computer
by pressing and holding the power button
until you hear the computer's fan shut off
and your screen goes completely black.
Wait a few seconds,
and then press the power button
to turn on the computer.
