So if someone wants to restart his/her system for the first time there would be a lot of struggle in finding the restart button which is now placed in settings menu. Metro Start Menu only contains the options to lock and log off Windows.

1. The first way to restart a system running Windows 8 is by using the start menu. Follow the following steps to restart your system:
- Navigate to the bottom left corner of the screen where you will see the start button popping up. The start button in Windows 8 is by default hidden and it appears only when the user hovers the mouse over it. You can also change this default behavior and make Windows 8 Start menu look like start menu of windows 7.
- Select Settings from the start menu.
- Click the power button that appears under preferences in settings menu.
