For some reason I’m unable to recall the key stroke for bringing up the list of emojis. Could someone please refresh my memory?

Restart shortcut on the desk top:
Angel
Thank you mister White for your suggestion. It works as the shutdown shortcut does. I want to, also, thank all you fine people for your considerate and thoughtful suggestions. They, too, are appreciated.

Re: How to create a restart windows shortcut on the desk top:
Bill White
Hi, Angel. If you want to create a desktop shortcut to restart your computer, place the following in the "target" of the shortcut, and name it as desired,
%SystemRoot%\System32\shutdown.exe /r /t 00

%windir%\System32 I don’t know where I got this shortcut. I created a shortcut key for it, and whenever I lack speech, I can invoke this shut down key, and the machine shuts down completely.

I think the absolutely fastest way to Rome is to make a shortcut, then assign it a hot key. But then you run the risk of creating a hot key conflict without realizing it.

I elaborated that if you hit Win Key + X, followed by U, you are immediately placed in the actual shutdown menu and can up/down arrow to the option you prefer. You can, of course, up arrow twice after WinKey + X and then move over into the submenu. It's one of those "whatever floats your boat" things. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete.

And, when it comes to OS security in general, what gets hacked is what is: 1. Most ubiquitous. 2. Has the biggest payoff for those targeting it. That's why Windows (and 10 and 11 are light years more secure than earlier versions) will always be right at the top of the list for trying to compromise. Once you figure out a way in to what you want, even if it's detected and patched/blocked in a very short time, you have millions upon millions of potential targets in that short time before that happens.

Linux has taken the world of data centers by storm. But even most of the tech geeks who are using it on a daily basis in those settings are not using it as their primary daily driver at home. There has been way, way more than adequate time for a very mature, and user friendly, set of Linux distros and their GUIs to have made inroads in the consumer market if they were going to do so. Decades, plural, now. Linux is almost certain to remain a niche.
