Because something has gone wrong at a fairly low level of the OS and you want to reboot to clear it out.
I know theoretically this shouldn't happen, but it does happen all the time - I've not yet seen a system that I've really never ever needed to reboot (excluding my toaster), and previous Windows have not been the least offenders in this regard, so I have no confidence that Windows 8 will be the first where I don't need it.
- Dylan16807 14y ago>reboot to clear it out That's what the reboot option is for. Can you explain the problem again?
- archangel_one 14y agoThe parent asked why you'd need to perform a full cold boot. I'm suggesting that there are cases where you do.
- Dylan16807 14y agoIn context the parent asked why you would need a full cold boot outside of the Restart command. The Restart option does a "full shutdown, followed by a cold boot". There is no need to throw command line flags around, at least not in the scenario you gave.
- archangel_one 14y agoNo he didn't, he just said "Really? Can you explain why you would need to do a full cold boot?". The grandparent was talking about the command line flags as an alternative, but neither my post nor the one I replied to were specifically referring to doing it from the command line.
