What does force shutdown mean? How to stop, start, disable services

Any user of Apple technology, and in particular the iPhone, has at least once encountered the problem of their smartphone rebooting or involuntarily turning off. The phone does not respond to pressing the “Home” and “Power” buttons, the touch screen also does not work...

Sound familiar? What to do if your iPhone freezes and won’t turn off? We offer you a detailed guide on how to reboot your iPhone from any state.

How to restart iPhone 4,5,6,7 in normal mode?

First, let's remember how to reboot an iPhone in normal mode, when all the phone's functions are working.

You can turn off iPhone 4, 5, 6, 7 by performing the following manipulations:

With this method of restarting the gadget, all programs are saved in the multitasking panel, and after turning off the phone, you can easily access all previously launched applications.

How to turn off iPhone if it's frozen, or Hard reboot

How to forcefully turn off an iPhone if it freezes and does not respond to touches on the sensor, the lock and Home buttons do not work? In this case, the method of hard rebooting your iPhone will help you. For this:

This method is practically fail-safe if you suddenly encounter the problem of turning off your mobile device. But it is worth remembering that this method forces the phone to completely reboot in forced mode, interrupting all processes and programs. That is why it is recommended to use it only in situations where other methods do not work.

Once enabled, the iPhone multitasking bar will not contain any programs. The processes of connecting to the cellular and Wi-Fi networks will be restarted.

How to turn off iPhone without a button?

And now we come to the most interesting part - how to turn off an iPhone if the Home or Power button does not work?

Let's go in order. The creators of iOS-based technology have come up with methods for shutting down and restarting without the top lock button or the central Home key. The function we need is called “Assistive Touch” and is based on the principle of touching the display.

To get started with this feature, you need to know how to enable Assistive Touch:

1. You need to go to “Settings” → “General” → “Universal Access”.
2. Next, you need to scroll the page to the “Interaction” block and select “Assistive Touch”.
   Or you can go to “Settings” and start writing the word “Assistive” in the search field and the iPhone itself will offer the required item.
3. The next step is to drag the activation slider of the function we need to the “Enabled” position (on new versions of iOS, in this position the background of the slider is colored green). After turning it on, a square gray and white button should appear on the screen, which is responsible for this functionality.
4. So, to restart your iPhone without buttons, you need to press the sensor within this icon. If everything is done correctly, then it should expand to a menu that looks like this:
5. Next, you need to press the “Device” button in the menu that opens and hold down the “Lock Screen” icon for 2-3 seconds. As a result, you will see the standard iPhone shutdown screen - two buttons “Shut down” and “Cancel”. You already know what to do next.
6. The last step is to turn on the device - to do this, you need to connect the phone to your computer, laptop or netbook using a standard USB cable and it will automatically turn on in standard mode.
   

Other non-standard ways to restart iPhone

If you want to quickly restart your iPhone, we recommend using the following methods:

Bold font

The advantage of this method is its speed. The only change that will occur as a result of activating this function is a change in the font thickness. But if you need to restart your smartphone by doing a minimum of actions, this method is for you.

Reset network settings

The disadvantage of this method is the fact that after a restart you will lose all network data: settings and passwords for the Wi-Fi network, as well as mobile Internet configurations.

Conclusion

This article is aimed at describing methods and methods for turning off an iPhone from any state: in normal mode, if the smartphone is frozen and does not respond to the sensor and keystrokes, if the “Home” and “Power” buttons do not work. In solving the problems of restarting the device, we considered a control method using touchpad touches - “Assistive Touch”, which allows you not only to cope with the problem of turning off the iPhone without using buttons, but also to configure control of the iOS device using gestures. It is also worth noting that the above function will not allow you to turn off the iPhone 4,5,6,7 if the display does not work or is frozen. In this case, you will still have to contact technical specialists.

If you still have any questions regarding the emergency shutdown of your device, then ask them in the comments, and we will make every effort to answer them promptly and help solve the problems that arise.

Your the computer froze, does not respond to any commands, can’t turn it off or reboot? In this article we will describe several simple ways to turn off or restart a frozen computer or laptop.

Why does my computer freeze? This is a question many users ask. The main reasons for a PC freezing is a lack of RAM or a weak processor. If you open several programs and applications on your computer at the same time, this can lead to the PC freezing, a weak processor simply will not be able to cope with the tasks assigned, or the RAM will not be enough to run a large number of applications. Sometimes it is enough to open one powerful program or game that will also make your computer think for a long time. If you want to buy a computer for gaming or for running high-capacity applications, then you should choose a PC with powerful specifications. All components of the system unit must match. It happens that the processor is powerful, but there is not enough RAM, or the RAM is large and the processor is powerful, but the video card is weak. Freezing can also be caused by errors in the operation of the operating system, viruses on the PC, or the accumulation of garbage. It is necessary at least sometimes to clean the system of debris; for this there are special programs that you can read and download on the Internet, you should also blow dust off the boards and cooling systems and periodically check the computer for viruses. Of course, there are many more reasons, and if you wish, you can write a large separate article about this, but first we will figure out what to do with a frozen computer or laptop.

Try it first restart frozen computer Call the task manager by simultaneously pressing the following buttons: "Ctrl + Alt + Del". This method often helps out if some programs on your PC or laptop freeze and sometimes you have to call the device manager to disable them.

If the first method does not help, then let's try turning off the frozen computer. We would like to warn you that if you perform a forced shutdown of your PC, everything that was not completed on the laptop may be lost. If you opened important documents that you were working with, but did not have time to save, then you can try to wait a little, perhaps the computer will come out of the freeze on its own. If you don’t want to waste time and nerves and you are ready to complete all the processes, then do the following.
To force shutdown a frozen computer, you need to press and hold the "Power" button. You need to hold it for a few seconds until the device turns off; you may have to hold the PC power button longer. After the computer turns off in a minute, you can turn it on and use it again.

The article didn't help. Another noob rant. Nothing is said about the nuances of shutting down the hard drive, parking the heads, how a reset actually differs from a forced shutdown with a long press, etc.

Thank you very much. I spent half an hour looking for what to do and only your article helped.

My practice shows that not all users know Features of turning on, rebooting and shutting down the computer. In the sixth IT lesson we will deal with these simple but important points.

It would seem that what could be simpler than turning the computer on and off? But small errors may lead to serious consequences: data loss, boot problems and even failure of some devices. To help avoid such difficulties, this IT lesson was written.

Connecting your computer to the electrical network

That lesson describes surge protectors and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Without this information, completing today's IT lesson will be somewhat more difficult.

If we understand the addition, let's move on to the main topic of our lesson today.

Turning on the computer

Let's start with the simplest thing - turning on the computer.

If you use a surge protector and/or a UPS, the turn-on order may be as follows:

1. Button on surge protector;
2. Button on ();
3. Button on power supply(usually it is not turned off, but when you turn it on for the first time, it’s better to check it and not turn it off in the future);
4. Power button on the monitor (I don’t turn off the monitor, because it turns off along with the UPS or filter);
5. Short press (about 1 second) power buttons on the front panel system unit(about the location of the button in the IT lesson).

Note: Some computers require you to press the power button twice in a row when you turn them on for the first time.

Was it difficult? “As many as five points!” In fact, the process is usually reduced to two or three steps.

In a simple daily version, turning on my computer looks like this:

1. Power button on surge protector(if installed);
2. Power button on uninterruptible power supply(if installed);
3. Short press power buttons(about 1 second) on the front panel system unit.

If the computer was turned off for a short time without turning off the filter and the UPS, then naturally only the third item from the list remains (one short press on the power button of the system unit).

Turning off the computer

1. Normal computer shutdown

There are two ways to turn off a running computer:

1. In the operating system (Windows), press the button "Start"(lower left corner on the screen), then the button "Shutdown";

(in Windows XP press the button "Start", then "Shutdown", and again "Shutdown");

2. Short press(less than one second) power buttons on the system unit.

Take your time, wait, maybe the computer is not frozen, but is busy processing data, this can be indicated by a flashing red indicator.

Wait a while (one to three minutes), if after that the computer does not begin to respond to key presses, then only in this case use a forced reboot or shutdown.

Let's finish today's lesson with these important rules.

Announcement

There are two more modes of computer operation: standby and sleep mode, but we will talk about them at Level 2 “User”.

In the next lesson, we’ll look at and find out which components most influence performance computer.

I have already written about other errors that Windows 7 likes to throw out more than once. Today I want to write about how to disable automatic system reboot when an error occurs.

Windows (not just Windows 7) has it so that during some more or less serious error, the system automatically reboots. Well, this is not bad, especially when such an error is caused by some kind of program. The computer will reboot, the program will close and everything will work, or should work :).

But it's another matter when the computer reboots through the same blue screens, or other serious system errors. It’s just that such errors are usually a permanent phenomenon, or until the cause is removed. So, if some kind of error appears and the computer immediately reboots, then we do not have time to look at the inscription that is on the same blue screen. And if you read what is written there and also rewrite the error code, you can look for a way to eliminate it.

So it’s worth disabling automatic reboot, and now I’ll write how to do it. Moreover, the computer can always be restarted by pressing a special button.

Disable automatic system reboot

Right-click on “Computer” and select “Properties”.

In the new window on the right, select .

A small window will open in which we click on “Options” in the section.

Another window will open in which we uncheck the box. Click “Ok” and close all windows.

If you're in a hurry and want to quickly shut down your Windows 8.1 or Windows 8 computer, you might be bothered by an annoying warning that says there are programs running on your computer that need to be closed. If you want to disable this warning permanently, continue reading this step-by-step guide to learn how.

Almost every time we want to shut down or restart a computer running Windows 8 or 8.1, the operating system displays a message that a number of programs require closing, and there may be one, two or even more such programs. This is because unfinished applications may have unsaved data, which is why they prevent Windows from shutting down quietly. However, in most cases, these programs that should be closed do not use any data, so the warning message is of no use and is very annoying for this reason.

So if you are sure that you always save application data before turning off or restarting your computer, then you can safely disable this feature, and to do this, follow the steps described below.

Step 1: First of all, press the Win + R key combination to open the Run dialog.

Step 2: Type the command "regedit" and click "OK" to open the Registry Editor window.

Step 3: In the Registry Editor, follow the following path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Step 4: On the right side of the Registry Editor, right-click on an empty space. Select “Create -> String Parameter”. Then name it "AutoEndTasks".

Step 5: Double-click on the newly created parameter and set its value to 1.

Now when you turn off or restart your computer, you will no longer see any prompts or warnings.

Have a great day!
