通常，只需快速重启 PC 即可解决Windows 11和在其上运行的应用程序随机出现的问题。除了故障排除之外，您还会遇到许多要求您关闭并重新启动计算机的情况——例如，在Windows更新之后。
如果您使用的是Windows 11 PC，则有多种方法可以执行系统重启。尽管您可能不需要全部使用它们，但如果出现这种情况，最好了解替代方法。
1.通过开始菜单(Start Menu)重启(Restart)Windows 11
重新启动Windows 11(Windows 11) PC最直接的方法是通过开始(Start)菜单 - 只需选择右上角的电源图标并选择(Power)重新启动(Restart)。
如果您在从Microsoft安装更新后重新启动计算机，您将看到一个额外的更新和重新启动选项以及时间估计。如果要完成更新，请选择它。
2.通过高级用户菜单(Power User Menu)重新启动(Restart)Windows 11
重新启动计算机的另一种快速方法是使用高级用户菜单(Power User Menu)。右键单击(Right-click)任务栏上的开始(Start)按钮（或按Windows + X），指向关闭(Shut)或注销，然后选择重新启动(Restart)。
3.通过键盘快捷键(Keyboard Shortcut)重新启动(Restart)Windows 11
您还可以借助键盘快捷键重新启动计算机。只需(Just)访问您的桌面并按Alt + F4（如果键盘有功能键，则按(Function)Fn + Alt + F4）。在出现的“关闭 Windows”对话框中，在下拉菜单
中选择“重新启动电源”选项，然后选择“确定”。(Restart)
4.通过Ctrl-Alt-Del 屏幕(Ctrl-Alt-Del Screen)重启(Restart)Windows 11
重新启动 PC 的另一种方法是通过Windows 11中的(Windows 11)Ctrl + Alt + Del屏幕（又名Windows 安全(Windows Security)屏幕）。Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete，选择屏幕右下角的电源图标，然后选择(Power)Restart。
即使您的系统死机，也可以访问 Ctrl + Alt + Del 屏幕，使其成为重新启动卡住 PC 的理想方式Ctrl + Alt + Del它甚至提供对任务管理器的即时访问(access to the Task Manager)，因此您可能希望在重新启动系统之前
结束任何卡住的进程。(end any stuck processes)
5.通过Lock/Login Screen重新启动(Restart)Windows 11
您不必登录到您的用户帐户即可重新启动您的 PC。如果您处于登录(Login)或锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)并且由于某种原因想要重新启动Windows 11 ，请选择右下角的电源图标并选择(Power)重新启动(Restart)。
6.通过命令行(Command Line)重启(Restart)Windows 11
如果您是一个有抱负的终端极客，您可以通过命令提示符(Command Prompt)或Windows PowerShell控制台
重新启动您的Windows 11 PC 。
首先(Start)打开命令提示符（在(Command Prompt)开始(Start)菜单上搜索 cmd.exe ）或Windows PowerShell （在Power User Menu上选择Windows Terminal）。然后，键入 shutdown /r 并按Enter。您的计算机将在 60 秒后重新启动。
如果您希望计算机立即重新启动，请使用其他开关运行命令：
关机 /r /t 0
随意(Feel)更改上述命令中的数值以确定操作系统需要多长时间以秒为单位重新启动——例如，如果您想将重新启动延迟一小时，则为 3600。
7.通过运行框重启Windows 11
也可以使用Run(Run)执行上述命令。Press Windows Key + R打开运行(Run)框，键入 shutdown /r（Windows 11将在 60 秒后重新启动）或 shutdown /r /t time_in_seconds（如果要执行立即或延迟重新启动），然后按Enter。
8.硬重启Windows 11
如果您的计算机完全冻结并且上述方法均无济于事，则需要进行硬重启。它可能会导致文件损坏和数据丢失，因此除非必要，否则我们不建议这样做。
要执行硬重启，只需按住电源(Power)按钮（某些笔记本电脑可能需要您按住另一个按钮）直到屏幕变暗。然后，再次按下电源(Power)按钮以打开您的 PC。
在台式电脑上，CPU外壳可能带有专用的重启(Restart)按钮；如果您这样做，请使用它来硬重启您的计算机。
9. 安排 Windows 11 重启
可以使用 Windows 内置的任务计划程序(using the Task Scheduler built into Windows)来安排重新启动。您还可以选择将其设为一次性或重复性任务。要做到这一点：
- 搜索任务计划程序(Task Scheduler)并通过开始(Start)菜单打开它。
- 在右侧窗格中
选择创建基本任务。(Create Basic Task)
- 输入任务的名称（例如Restart）并选择Next。
- 选择每天(Daily)、每周(Weekly)、每月(Monthly)或一次，然后选择下一步(Next)。
- 指定要安排重新启动的时间，然后选择Next。
- 选择 Start a program 旁边的单选按钮，然后选择Next。
- (Enter)Program/script输入以下路径。
C:WindowsSystem32shutdown.exe
- 将 -r 添加(Add -r)到添加参数（可选）旁边的字段中。
- 选择完成。
当任务开始运行时，您有 60 秒的时间重新启动系统。如果要调整延迟持续时间，请在步骤 8 中添加 -t time-in-seconds 开关。
10.通过桌面快捷方式(Desktop Shortcut)重启(Restart)Windows 11
如果您想以超快的方式重新启动Windows，您始终可以选择创建桌面快捷方式！要做到这一点：
- 右键单击(Right-click)桌面上的空白区域，然后选择New > Shortcut。
- 输入(Enter)shutdown /r /t 0命令（如果需要，添加时间延迟）
- 输入名称—例如，重新启动(Restart)并选择完成(Finish)以保存快捷方式。
关机(Shutdown)与重启：有什么区别(Difference)？
在我们结束之前，最好指出手动关闭 PC 然后重新打开它与指示系统自行重启之间的区别。尽管这两个动作似乎完成了同样的事情，但由于有一个名为Fast Startup的功能，情况并非如此。
当您选择关机(Shutdown)（在上述许多方法中作为一个选项提供）时，快速启动(Fast Startup)会缓存各种形式的系统数据，让您的计算机从冷启动更快地启动。但是，在对操作系统的持续问题进行故障排除时，这可能会导致问题。
如果您选择Restart(Restart) ，快速启动(Startup)不会启动，如果您打算修复问题，则使其成为更好的选择。这也是最方便的，除非你不打算很快打开你的电脑。
不过，如果需要，您确实可以选择禁用快速启动(Fast Startup)。打开 Windows 控制面板(Open the Windows Control Panel)，转到硬件(Hardware)和Sound > Power > Choose电源按钮的功能，然后取消选中打开快速启动（推荐）旁边的框。
10 Ways to Shut Down and Restart a Windows 11 PC
Often, a quick PC restart iѕ all you nеed to resolvе issues that randomly crоp up with Windows 11 and the applications that run оn it. Τroubleshooting aside, you’ll encounter many instances requiring уou to ѕhut down and restart your computer—е.g., after a Windows update.
If you use a Windows 11 PC, you have multiple ways to perform a system reboot. Although you probably won’t need them all, it’s always better to know about alternative methods should the situation arise.
1. Restart Windows 11 via Start Menu
The most straightforward way to restart a Windows 11 PC is through the Start menu—simply select the Power icon on the right corner and choose Restart.
If you’re restarting your computer after installing an update from Microsoft, you’ll see an additional Update and restart option and a time estimate. Select it if you want to complete the update.
2. Restart Windows 11 via Power User Menu
One more quick way to restart your computer is to use the Power User Menu. Right-click the Start button on the taskbar (or press Windows + X), point to Shut down or sign out, and select Restart.
3. Restart Windows 11 via Keyboard Shortcut
You can also restart your computer with the help of a keyboard shortcut. Just visit your desktop and press Alt + F4 (or Fn + Alt + F4 if the keyboard has a Function key). On the “Shut Down Windows” dialog pop-up that appears, choose the Restart power option on the drop-down menu and select OK.
4. Restart Windows 11 via Ctrl-Alt-Del Screen
Another way to restart your PC is through the Ctrl + Alt + Del screen (a.k.a. the Windows Security screen) in Windows 11. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete, select the Power icon at the bottom right corner of the screen, and select Restart.
The Ctrl + Alt + Del screen is accessible even when your system freezes, making it an ideal way to restart a stuck PC. It even provides immediate access to the Task Manager, so you may want to end any stuck processes before you resort to a system reboot.
5. Restart Windows 11 via Lock/Login Screen
You don’t have to be logged into your user account to reboot your PC. If you’re at the Login or Lock Screen and want to restart Windows 11 for some reason, select the Power icon on the lower right corner and choose Restart.
6. Restart Windows 11 via Command Line
If you’re an aspiring terminal geek, you can restart your Windows 11 PC via the Command Prompt or Windows PowerShell console.
Start by opening Command Prompt (search for cmd.exe on the Start menu) or Windows PowerShell (select Windows Terminal on the Power User Menu). Then, type shutdown /r and press Enter. Your computer will reboot in 60 seconds.
If you want your computer to restart immediately, run the command with additional switches:
shutdown /r /t 0
Feel free to change the numerical value in the command above to determine how long the operating system takes to reboot itself in seconds—e.g., 3600 if you want to delay the restart by one hour.
7. Restart Windows 11 via Run Box
It’s also possible to execute the commands above using Run. Press Windows Key + R to open a Run box, type shutdown /r (Windows 11 will restart in 60 seconds) or shutdown /r /t time_in_seconds (if you want to perform an immediate or delayed reboot), and press Enter.
8. Hard Reboot Windows 11
If your computer is completely frozen and none of the methods above help, a hard reboot is on the cards. It could lead to file corruption and data loss, so we don’t recommend it unless necessary.
To perform a hard reboot, simply press and hold the Power button (some laptops may require you to hold down an additional button) until the screen darkens. Then, press the Power button again to turn on your PC.
On desktop PCs, the CPU casing may sport a dedicated Restart button; if yours does, use that to hard reboot your computer.
9. Schedule a Windows 11 Restart
It’s possible to schedule a restart using the Task Scheduler built into Windows. You also have the option of making that a one-off or recurring task. To do that:
- Search for Task Scheduler and open it via the Start menu.
- Select Create Basic Task on the right pane.
- Enter a name for the task (e.g., Restart) and select Next.
- Select Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or One Time and select Next.
- Specify the time you want to schedule the restart and select Next.
- Select the radio button next to Start a program and select Next.
- Enter the following path in the field under Program/script.
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe
- Add -r into the field next to Add arguments (optional).
- Select Finish.
You have 60 seconds until your system reboots when the task begins running. Add the -t time-in-seconds switch in step 8 if you want to adjust the delay duration.
10. Restart Windows 11 via Desktop Shortcut
If you want a super-fast way to restart Windows, you always have the option of creating a desktop shortcut! To do that:
- Right-click a vacant area on your desktop and select New > Shortcut.
- Enter the shutdown /r /t 0 command (add a time delay if you want)
- Enter a name—e.g., Restart and select Finish to save the shortcut.
Shutdown vs. Restart: What’s the Difference?
Before we wrap up, it’s best to point out the difference between manually powering down your PC and then turning it back on versus instructing the system to reboot on its own. Although both actions appear to accomplish the same thing, that’s not the case due to a feature called Fast Startup.
When you select Shutdown (available as an option in many of the above methods), Fast Startup caches various forms of system data, allowing your computer to boot faster from a cold start. However, that can cause issues while troubleshooting persistent problems with the operating system.
Fast Startup does not kick in if you pick Restart, making it the better option if you intend to fix issues. It’s also the most convenient unless you don’t plan on turning on your PC anytime soon.
Nevertheless, you do have the option of disabling Fast Startup if you want. Open the Windows Control Panel, go to Hardware and Sound > Power > Choose what the power buttons do, and uncheck the box next to Turn on fast startup (recommended).
