How to exit or reboot when the mouse dies
Sometimes it can happen that the mouse stops working. I will skip over all the standard steps such as checking the cable connections or making sure that the battery in your wireless mouse still functions. First you may want to close down the computer and here is the way to use the keyboard to exit or reboot.
Bring up the Start menu by pressing the Windows key or by the combination Control+Esc. Then select “Turn off computer” by pressing the Up arrow once, followed by Enter. Next, press “r’” to reboot or “u” to shutdown. Or you can use the left or right arrow keys to navigate among the shutdown choices. Then press Enter. Use Esc if you want to cancel an action.
Sometimes a reboot is all that is needed to get the mouse to work again.
