Easy way to Exit hanging explorer

This trick is not as an alternative to quitting Windows, but is a good and easy alternative to exiting explorer when it hangs/stops responding. The normal way is to launch the Windows Task Manager, but through this way you don't need to do that; you just open the Start Menu using a shortcut can restart explorer, this is provided your hanging computer lets you access the Start Menu.




1. To bring up your Start menu, click on the blue orb or hit the windows key.

2. Hold down the "Ctrl+Shift" keys at the same time.

3. Right-click on an empty area of the menu or better yet on any of the buttons next to the Start Search i.e. save session (power button) and Lock computer icon.

4. You'll now see the option "Exit Explorer" under Properties.
