How to Emergency Restart or Shutdown Windows 8 | 7

There may be some situations where you may need to restart or shut down your Windows system urgently. This could be an emergency situation, where you need to instantly shutdown or restart your system - or there could be a situation where your Windows just will not shutdown normally. If you need bring your system offline and don’t have to worry about saving any work or current information, while using the physical Power can be one option, it could cause damage to your system. A better alternative to performing a hard reboot would be to follow this procedure.
I understand this is not something new, but has been a feature in the windows operating system for quite a while now.

Clicking on OK, will instantly restart your Windows 8 system.
Use this option with caution. Although it will not harm your Windows computer in any way, unlike a hard restart, when you exercise this option, Windows will restart instantly without giving you any warning, and unsaved work or data if any, will be lost.
