Is nothing working on your Windows 10 or Windows 11 computer? Is an application hanging, or is your PC completely unresponsive? Most people will reach for the hallowed Ctrl+Alt+Del keyboard shortcut, which has been used since the earliest days of DOS to revive a stuck computer.
You can also use the shortcut to call up the task manager (although Ctrl+ Shift+Esc is faster at that). What many people probably aren't aware of, however, is the emergency restart function Microsoft hid inside the Ctrl+ Alt+Del screen. I personally didn't know about it either until I read this article from BetaNews (fave.co/44kMVpR).
HOW TO ACTIVATE THE HIDDEN WINDOWS EMERGENCY RESTART
To get to the hidden emergency restart function, first press Ctrl+Alt+Del on your keyboard. The usual "lock," "switch user," "sign off," and "Task manager" options will appear in a full screen.
