laptop in limbo!
« on: 28 Aug 2016, 11:01 pm »
I couldn't open files in Abiword (took forever and got tired of waiting) so I closed those windows and rebooted my newish Windows 10 laptop. It's been "restarting" all day long! The battery is non-detachable and I've tried C-A-Delete and every button combo possible.

What do I do?

Hold down the power button for awhile, it'll turn off.

I tried that - it just goes into sleep-mode. When I push it again, it just does the re-starting thing. Maybe I'll try it again.

Most computers will power down when holding down the power button for 5 or 6 seconds but I've come across a few that took 10 seconds or more.
