Rebooting Remote MINI PC Generic equipment discussions · Jerry Gerber · ... · 5 · 192 · 0

When I need to re-boot my remote PC I shut it down, but I can't just wait a minute or so and then reboot it.  Instead I have to wait till the computer is off, turn off the power at the Digital Loggers Web Power Switch web page, turn off the power, wait a few minutes and then turn the power back on and then wait a minute or so for the remote PC to reboot. 

Is there a way to avoid having to turn off the power and just reboot the computer remotely?  I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this.  It's a Windows 11 machine.

Thanks for any insight as to how to do this!

Just do a standard restart instead of a shutdown from the windows start menu.

Alternatively, Create a .txt file on your remote machines desktop called Restart, in that text file, simply type
@echo off
shutdown -t 0 -r -f

Save the file, and rename it from 'Restart.txt' to 'Restart.bat'.

This batch file will execute the shutdown command with the following flags:

'-t 0' : sets the time until execution to 0ms, so it happens immediately.
'-r' : sets the shutdown mode to 'restart' .
'-f' : force closes any currently running tasks so the restart doesn't hang there waiting for something to close.

When you need to restart the machine, just go to the desktop, double click 'Restart.bat' and it will restart the machine.

Thanks all,  I got it working.  I had to wait a bit after restart to start it up again, but it worked.  This is good, I don't have to turn power off and on just to restart it. 

However, if I shut the remote PC off, instead of restarting, I cannot turn it back on just by connecting via Windows Remote.  In that situation, I must turn power off and on.  I think that's normal, yes?
