    If it really is not responding, do a hard reset by pushing the power button until its shuts down.

    I didn't know about this. It may come in handy some day.

    That shuts down the machine, the Emergency Restart shuts down and restarts it almost instantly.

    Just as an aside, the Emergency Restart option in Windows is offered from Vista upwards (ctrl/alt/del then control key and shutdown)

    Nice if it works. :)

    If ctrl/alt/del doesn't even bring up that screen, hard shutdown is the only way to go.

    It worked on a Win 10 machine for me.

    Oh, Ok, I wasn't aware of the extra step to get the Restart. Thanks!

    Maybe I should have said 'when it works' rather than 'if it works' - I have had instances when I have just had e.g. a blue spinning circle, and that screen does not come up ...

    I posted this link a few times over the past month but nobody replied. I have been running the enterprise version. I have deleted the VM three times and after reinstalling it again. I get 90 more days each time.;) So make sure you save the download.
    You even posted it in august of last year.

    For all Windows 10 versions - from Home to Enterprise?

    I didn't, that was my question. I also guess it will be Enterprise only.

    Looks like EMET will become part of Windows and they'll have improved anti-execution control and additional zero-day malware protection - particularly against rapidly evolving ransomware outbreaks.

    Windows Defender is well on the way towards doing more than countering AV threats.
