METHOD 6: Restart Windows From Command Prompt
The /r parameter specifies that it should restart the computer instead of just shut it down (which is what happens
when /s is used).

Tip: The same restart command

• Reboot an Android Smartphone or Tablet
Sometimes, you must reboot (or restart) a wonky Android device to solve problems like freezing/crashing apps
and slow performance. The specifics might differ, but these reboot instructions generally apply regardless of
the phone manufacturer or Android version.
• Press the power button
Press-and-hold the power button for a few seconds. It’s usually on the right side of the device.

A menu will appear with the Power off option. The latest Android version might offer other options, including
Restart, which is a better option.
Some devices work a little differently. For example, the latest Pixel phones show the power off menu when you
press the Power + Volume Up keys at the same time.
• Do a Hard Reboot
• Even when the Android operating system can’t display the power down menu, you can perform a hard
reboot, also known as a hard restart. Not every Android device is programmed to do a hard reboot the same
way.
• Many devices reboot when you hold down the power button. However, it may take 10 to 20 seconds before
it’s triggered.
• If that doesn’t work, try holding down both the Power and Volume Up buttons for up to 20 seconds. After
that, the screen will go black, signaling that the device has powered down
NOTE: Factory resetting an Android device is very different from rebooting one. Learn more
about reboot vs reset to see which option is best for you.
