Windows 11 has a hidden Emergency Restart feature to forcefully reset a frozen PC. This "last resort" method, accessible via CTRL + ALT + DEL and holding CTRL while clicking the power icon, bypasses unresponsive systems without a physical button press. The feature, reportedly present since Windows XP, offers an alternative to a hard reset when the computer is completely frozen.
