After running System Mechanic 12 registry maintenance, the computer froze on the info screen. I tried to turn off the computer using the power button. This is a laptop, so disconnecting the power adaptor did not work. I want to try a hotkey, but I don't know how. I know that Ctrl-Alt-Del works on Windows 7.

1A few more method you can try: Remove the laptop battery (if possible). Or press and hold the power button (5+ seconds) and usually it will forcefully shut it down. Ctrl-Alt-Del also works on Windows 8. – Darius – 2014-01-19T05:13:21.827
this question is so scary that couldn't figure out how to simply turn off a computer and require a hotkey to do so. – Sickest – 2014-01-19T08:03:05.143
