The article reveals an often-overlooked Emergency Restart feature in Windows 11. Found on Reddit, this method lets users restart their computer when it becomes unresponsive by holding down CTRL and clicking the power button after using CTRL + ALT + DEL. It serves as a last-resort alternative to a hard reset, useful for situations where other functions fail, especially on devices like laptops without a physical power button. This feature has been around since Windows XP but is not widely recognized in the latest operating systems.
This action leads to a message on screen stating that you're attempting an Emergency Restart, adding "Click OK to immediately restart. Any unsaved data will be lost."
The technique is the closest thing to holding down the on/off button on your PC without having to press it.
