If you are connected to a remote Windows PC or computer, you don’t see sleep or shutdown or restart options on Windows Start -> Power button. You can see only Disconnect or sign out/logoff options. So you can’t restart the remote PC directly like you do on your computer.
But you can RESTART/SHUT DOWN the remote computer with simple commands using Command Prompt.
- Goto START -> RUN -> type CMD and press ENTER. Command prompt opens up.
- To SHUT DOWN the remote PC, type below command and ENTER
Command: shutdown -s -t 0
3. To RESTART/REBOOT the remote PC, type below command and ENTER
Command: shutdown -r -t 0
