Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.
There is no method, setting or even a known registry hack to force a PC to restart when Windows gets frozen, because most processes are suspended when that happens, the manual restart is the only method.
How to force restart the PC without manual intervention when the PC gets stuck?

Hi,
Sometimes my PC is becoming unresponsive, and the screen is getting frozen on a random basis. The monitor goes blank, and I am not able to perform any action on that PC (neither mouse clicks nor keyboard shortcuts). It requires to force shutdown and then turning it on again to resolve the issue.
I want to achieve this force restart without any manual intervention.
Could you please suggest me a way to internally recognize that the system has frozen so that a programming script should be run automatically to force restart the PC?
