And there's a chance it will corrupt your system files, requiring you to fix them or reinstall the OS entirely if it gets too bad. That's why you shouldn't use it.

Just a quick note: Since it's impossible to open a Windows Security dialog in Windows XP because Ctrl+Alt+Delete instantly opens Task Manager, so if you want Windows Security to appear on Windows XP you need to switch from Welcome screen to classic logon prompt first
In Windows XP with Welcome Screen enabled, if you press Ctrl+Alt+Del(ete) it shows task manager There's a tab "Shut down" menu in Task Manager and power off button. If you press Ctrl and Restart, It emergency restartes without asking. (Ctrl and Power off, it emergency shutdown without asking)
I've used Windows all my life and I never knew this! I thought this was a new feature for 11 since I watched a video recently on it, but never knew it existed in pretty much almost all the other versions.
It exists in all versions of NT, including the non-showcased 3.11 and 3.51 versions and (nearly) all intermediate builds. The MS-DOS based windowses (1,2,3,WfW, and 9x/ME) do not have this feature because of the underlying 16-bit layer imposing technical limitations on just how "dead" the system can go on a Ctrl-Alt-Del event, which in older machines was a hardware intercepted thing. NT temporarily stops all processes completely except for the kernel and logon.exe when ctrl-alt-del is pressed, which is why the emergency restart option is there, it would stop any misbehaving processes so long as the kernel was still functional. Windows 9x was a bit harder to "stop", the underlying 16-bit processes make up a lot of the support for the 32-bit environment. Stopping DOS would mean stopping *every* 16-bit driver and process from executing, all at once, since it was cooperatively multitasked. The lesson from all the technical jargon here is that Windows 9x simply couldn't suspend 16-bit execution on ctrl-alt-del because it would mean every device driver that wasn't in the 32-bit environment would stop, which is why in win9x/ME doing so goes to a blue screen. That's being rendered by IO.SYS (the MS-DOS kernel), KERNEL.EXE (the 16-bit kernel component of Win 9x), and your video card's (then-required) 16-bit video ROM routines. All 32-bit processes are stopped completely. From there you're offered the option to (try to) resume and go back to the desktop, but if you had the wrong combination of software and hardware this could fail, since 16-bit stuff carried on executing while the Win32 layer remained stagnant, including any 32-bit VxD or WDM drivers. The other option is to hit ctrl-alt-del again to immediately tell the reset controller to reset the CPU, thus causing an instant unsafe restart. On NT, the drivers are 32-bit like the kernel, so they are linked into the kernel at runtime as needed. This means all processes can safely be stopped (even 16-bit ones on 32-bit NTVDM) save for the process serving the dialog and the kernel itself. The NT versions also flush disk caches before rebooting, so that your filesystem doesn't get mangled like it often did under 9x.

Great video. I actually didn't think Windows 11 developers would care about updating the Emergency Restart pop-up. Would you mind making a video about Emergency Shutdown in Task Manager by Ctrl+Clicking "Shut Down"? AFAIK it's removed since Vista, but I remember using it on XP.
I don't think they looked into it, it mainly has to do with how logonui evolved over the years. If logonui gets updated, the Emergency Restart prompt also gets updated with it, albeit unintentionally. All they did was just change the way it looked and worked and that's why it looks different. I don't know how relevant Emergency Restart is, but I don't think it is very relevant nowadays and even back in the 2000s. Sure, it was present from the early days when Windows NT was still a enterprise oriented operating system and even through Vista, since that's when logonui was entirely rewritten but I still feel like it was an afterthought; maybe they remembered that it was a thing at last moment because after all some Longhorn builds didn't include it.

That's not really true, because if a malware would be anticipating the use of emergency shutdown, it can easily intercept the function responsible for shutting the system down (NtShutdownSystem) in the calling process (winlogon.exe) and prevent it from happening on any Windows version. But the lack of the CTRL+ALT+DEL (SAS) screen on old Windows versions actually makes it much easier to keep the computer operable, since on new Windows versions, intercepting the emergency shutdown will normally result in a endless loading loop displayed on the SAS screen, from which you cannot exit by any normal means.

In what situation would you need this feature of simply pressing the reset button
Emergency shutdown for me is yanking the power cord out, it actually works better with less on screen prompts
Not as easy on most laptops
For those who don't know what's long horn it's like a beta version of vista just renamed
Beta and yea
You know, if my computer is permanently glitched, I would attempt an emergency restart immediately.
I like how it’s a ‘last resort’
The um sounds in the background music sounded like my older brother for some reason
I'm talking about the second song
3:58 "shhh... lets not leak our hard work"
Buen video
Wow I didn't know about emergency restart until I saw this video
First of all how do you have literally all the versions of Windows? Second, I didn’t even know about emergency restart 😮
They're VMs: ruclips.net/video/4cfghT1lywQ/видео.html
Ohhh I had a feeling but I wanted to make sure. Thanks 🙏
You should press spacebar NOW
Didn't even know this existed
I learned system administrator and did never know, that this combination exists
The real question is why are there so many versions of windows 8
Betas
Well most windows versions do.. They're betas, stages of development of Windows 8 when they were developing it, Later they were releasing developer builds to it for feedback.
They were development builds.
ah yes, windows longhorn with xp logo. couldn't do better. i am 45th like!
I never knew this feature existed in my life.
What is the point of an Emergency Restart? If the OS hangs, then you won't be able to access the option anyways.
And what if you just press the power button to initiate a normal shutdown? It's safer that way anyways...
Idk, I have no idea how this could be useful..
Your power button could be malfunctioning and you need to shut off the pc ASAP
Video Idea: What happens if you force restart in different OSes?
😮i didn't know about emergency shutdown on every 😅windows
VMware Workstation Pro is free starting from 17.5.2
What the combination??? Ctrl alt del??? This combination has launch Task Manager
I wonder if what happens on NT 3.51 with the NewShell update.
Didn't know this. Almost the same as halt/poweroff in Linux
shutdown/halt and friends are orderly shutdowns, this is closer to Alt+SysRq+B.
i actually tried this on my work computer and it didn't work as i expected - it just hung on "restarting" circle
i found out about this function in w11, before i didnt expected this function even on XP xdd
How is it I never heard of this emergency restart until a few days ago?
