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.
This second method is a little faster and doesn't require the full Start menu:
1. Open the Power User Menu by pressing the Win (Windows) key and X. Another way to get there is by right-clicking the Start button.
2. Go to Shut down or sign out.
3. Select Restart.
