Set automatic restart on Windows

In order to ensure maximum stability, we recommend that your Windows Player is set to restart at least once every 24 hours.
This can be enabled directly in Windows by running the following command in a Command Prompt.

Start by connecting a USB keyboard and mouse, then to close down Q-Play, you press F4 (note, on some keyboards you have to press FN+F4).
To open Command Prompt, press "Win+R" and type "CMD" in the box and press enter.
