Rebooting Your Computer with Remote Desktop

Do you use remote desktop? Have you ever had to reboot remotely? If you try to do it normally, here’s what you see:

disconnect button... where's shut down?

There’s no shut down button!

So instead, you must reboot in a more roundabout way. First, open up task manager. Can’t open it because hitting CTRL+ALT+delete opens it up on the computer you’re logging in from? Have no fear. Right click on the start bar.

open task manager from the start bar

Good. Notice the new menu item that isn’t usually there? Use it and reboot! 🙂

now you can shut down
