How do I restart Windows 10 completely?

Question

How do I perform a complete restart under Windows 10?

 


Answer

Windows 10 no longer restarts completely if the Windows Quick Start is activated. When restarting, it loads the system including its settings and services from a previously created memory on the system drive in order to shorten the boot time.

However, this can lead to problems existing before the shutdown still being present after a restart.

 

It is therefore worth carrying out a complete restart, which can be achieved in different ways:

  1. Click on Restart in the Start menu as usual, but hold down the Shift key (upper case key above CTRL).
  2. Open a Run dialogue with the Windows + r key combination. Type shutdown -g -t 0 into this dialogue and confirm with Ok.

Windows restarts the computer completely in both cases.
