Restarting (rebooting) your computer

Important

If your computer does not turn off, press and hold the power button for about five seconds, then release it.

If your computer does not respond to keyboard or mouse input, you may have to close programs that are not responding. If closing unresponsive programs does not restore your computer to normal operation, you may have to restart (reboot) your computer.

To close unresponsive programs and restart your computer:

1Press CTRL+ALT+DEL. The Task Manager window opens.

2Click the Applications tab, then click the program that is not responding.

3Click End Task.

4Click × in the top-right corner of the Windows Task Manager dialog box.

5If your computer does not respond, turn it off, wait ten seconds, then turn it on again.

As a part of the regular startup process, a program to check the disk status runs automatically. When the checks are finished, Windows starts.
