/reboot

Schedules or cancels restart from interactive mode.

Synopsis

/reboot [--delay <seconds>] [--force|-f] [--cancel]

Options

Option Detail
--delay <seconds> Seconds before restart.
--force, -f Restart even when no restart is required and skip confirmation.
--cancel Cancel pending scheduled restart.

Behavior

/reboot requires Administrator.

For a pending update restart, /reboot finalizes staged WUA updates once for the current boot and then schedules the restart. /reboot --cancel only aborts the countdown; retry protection prevents a second commit in the same boot.

Examples

/reboot
/reboot --delay 60
/reboot --force
/reboot --cancel
