✅ I'll show you how to put a one-click restart button right on your taskbar. The skills you'll pick up along the way are useful far beyond restarting.
✅ One click restart

You can turn that into a single click by creating a desktop shortcut, giving it a custom icon, and pinning it to your taskbar. Even if a one-click restart isn’t what you need, you can use these same tricks for other programs, too.
