Thread: Restart Windows without restarting PC

When you click on the SHUTDOWN button, make sure to simultaneous press SHIFT Button. If you hold the Shift key down while clicking on SHUTDOWN button, you computer would restart without restarting the Computer. This is equivalent to term "HOT REBOOT".

Does it work with XP..?
Thanks for this info...

If that works, then that's an awesome feature... And should've been a lot common... Will try that out, when at my desktop, currently using mobile... Although I doubt if it works or not. Let somebody else confirm till then.

I'm curious to see how this differs from killing explorer and restarting it.

I never knew about this... I'll try it next time I'm on a Windows computer :p What versions does it work with?

Whoa, I never knew about this and I read alot about Windows 7 tweaks/shortcuts.

Thanks mate!

so this is for all windows versions? can you please confirm, as I have 3 different PCs running three different versions of windows

thanks

I read this and was like wtf lol :)
I'll try that sometime, that is if I ever shut my pc down instead of sleeping

Hmm cool, didn't knew about this. Will try it next time I need to reboot, might save a couple seconds of my life Thanks for sharing.
