SYMPTOMS
When you type EXIT to quit the command prompt while your computer is started with the "Safe Mode With Command prompt" option, the command prompt window closes, but the computer does not restart.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, click Shut Down, choose a shut down option, and then click OK.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
