Description

a mimir is a lightweight, portable freeware written in C that allows you to instantly shut down or restart your PC without any loading or waiting time. It's designed to be simple and efficient, packed into only 4.0KB.

How It Works

When you run a mimir, it presents you with two buttons: "Shutdown" and "Restart." Clicking either button will immediately perform the chosen action.

  1. Privileges Adjustment: The program temporarily elevates its privileges to gain low-level access, allowing it to instantly shut down or restart the system.
  2. Direct System Call: It then directly calls a system function to perform the shutdown or restart, bypassing the usual delays and processes involved.

This means you get an immediate shutdown or restart, avoiding any annoying delays or unexpected Windows updates.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to close all running programs before using a mimir.
