Shutdown -i does not work

Question

I have tried to use shutdown -i on my own computer or on another computer and it doesn't work. I usually get Failed to connect to registry.(1326). How do I fix this?

Answer 1

You could try shutdown /i
Alternatively you could use powershell:
for remote pc's:
restart-computer -computername Computer1 -force

for the local pc:
restart-computer -force
