When I use shutdown -r or shutdown /r my Windows computer doesn't restart. I think this command is disabled. How can I enable this command in the command prompt?

  • Neither are valid: try 'shutdown /r' or 'shutdown /t 10'

  • Windows XP, Vista or 7 and which flavor (32-bit, 64-bit, Ultimate, etc)?

Run regedit (Start -> Run) and check these registry keys if NoClose is set:

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

0 indicates shutdown is enabled.
1 indicates shutdown is disabled.

If the value is not there, you could try adding it and setting it to 0. You'll probably need to restart as well.

I prefer SysInternals PSSHUTDOWN,which has lots of options. Learn more: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb842062
