Very simple command line program I made that restarts Steam, I use this pretty often so I thought other people might too.
- Download
RestartSteam.zip
from the latest release - Extract the contents to a safe location such as
%localappdata%\Programs\RestartSteam
using a program like 7-Zip - Create a shortcut to
RestartSteam.exe
inC:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
- If you do this, the program will show up in Windows Search, so you can just search "RestartSteam"
- Make sure to add
-r
to the end of the shortcut, additionally, you can add-y
to the end of the shortcut to bypass the confirmation prompt - Recommended shortcut would look similar to
"C:\RestartSteam\RestartSteam.exe" -r -y
- Restart
explorer.exe
for it to show up in Windows Search- You can do this in Task Manager by Right Clicking on
Windows Explorer
and selectingRestart
- Alternatively, open
CMD
and run this command,taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe & start explorer
- You can do this in Task Manager by Right Clicking on
