Paul over on alt.comp.os.windows-10 sent me this:

Thank you for the conformation! I have customer that throw the power switch during a build update and Oh Boy!

That is what I have done. I have taken to crashing teh boot several times to get into it. But I do not like it. I am afraid I will corrupt something. On my qemu-kvm virtual machine of Windows 11, f8 does not work.

What is the system (.dll?) call for such?

How do I get the ip address of a NETBIOS name using WSD from the command line (not power shell). This is Windows Explorer (not IE) doing what I want, but I want to do it from the command line also
