You know how sometimes after updating or installing a program, there is a
need to restart?
According to what I'm told, it's really only Windows that needs to be
restarted, not DOS. Restarting just Windows is faster than a total restart.
When I try to follow the instrctions from Microsoft seen below, nothing
happens. I click "Start" and select "Turn off computer." The "Turn off
computer" box appears. I hold down the "Shift" key, which I noticed causes
"Stand By" to change to "Hibernate." While holding the "Shift" key, I click
"Restart." But instead of what's supposed to happen happening, the "Turn off
computer" box dissappears as if I clicked "Cancel" and nothing happens.
What's wrong?

To restart Windows without restarting your computer, follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Shut Down.
Press and hold down the SHIFT key while you click Restart The Computer, and
then click Yes.
As soon as the screen clears, release the SHIFT key.
NOTE: If you hold the SHIFT key too long, Windows restarts in Safe mode.
