           Theory
           Rebooting a computer system means to restart a computer via the power button. Generally, we need to reboot
           a system when we install any new software on our system. Rebooting is the process which may happen either
           intentionally or unintentionally. The running processes get stopped and restart again to execute normally. We can
           see that sometimes the computer suddenly stops to respond, hangs or displays a blue screen, and when we try
           to use a mouse or keyboard to shut down, it doesn’t work. It becomes a critical condition that can be tackled by
           rebooting the system. Thus, a computer user needs to know the method of rebooting a computer system. Most
           users, who are new to the computer or don’t have enough computer knowledge, they just turn off the power button
           when they detect any hanging problem with the computer. However, it is not the right way to tackle the situation
           because it can harm the data stored in the computer or, in some cases, it may crash the Operating System.
           Turning off the power button should be the last option when none of the methods works and the computer is still
           frozen. Otherwise, one should avoid experimenting with such things.
           Here, we will discuss each step one by one to learn how we can easily reboot a computer system.


            Procedure

           METHOD 1: Reboot a Windows 11, 10, or 8 Computer
           The “normal” way to reboot a computer running Windows 11/10/8 is through the Start menu:
           1  Open the Start menu.

           2  Select the power icon at the bottom (Windows 11/10) or top (Windows 8) of the screen.
           3  Select Restart.
