Regular Restart
Follow these steps for a standard restart:

Select the Start icon: This is usually located in the bottom-left corner of your screen.
-
Select the Power icon: After clicking the Start icon, look for the Power icon (it often looks like a circle with a line).

Select Restart: A menu will appear, giving you options like "Sleep," "Shut down," and "Restart." Choose "Restart." The system will then automatically shut down and power back on.
