Once the computer is completely shuttled down, wait for few minutes and then turn off the monitor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Step 3<\/strong>. Now, switch off the main power supply button and plug out the wire from the electricity board.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Step 4<\/strong>.

Hit the Windows + R key on the keyboards together to fire up the Run command.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Step 2<\/strong>.

It should be on the Application tab by default, so choose the \u201cProcesses\u201d tab right beside the application tab.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tunesbro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image003-1.jpg\" alt=\"windows 10 task manager\" width=\"325\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tunesbro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image003-1.jpg 455w, https:\/\/www.tunesbro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image003-1-300x288.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Step 4<\/strong>.
