Realistically, how should we be able to help you if your PC does not start at all? Try to boot into safe mode first, this should disable all programs and should not start anything that is set on start on boot. Try then to uninstall SuperF4. Though that I find it curious how the program should super close your Windows installation... I just tried it and it works on my PC still, even after pressing twice.

Not sure if you can enter it easily without being in Windows. But iirc Windows will boot into Automatic Repair Mode if it fails to boot after three times consecutively. So if you cannot find a way to enter safe mode, just turn your PC off three times in a row while Windows is boothing (the Windows logo is showing up) with the PSU power switch at the back. Note that I would probably not recommend it. It just doesn't sound healthy at all.

Thanks @SirWindfield for helping out!

And sorry everyone that I'm very inactive here. Just busy. :(

Got it done with a hard boot already (Press the off button for 20 secs)

Good to hear that it worked out! Just to be sure, would you mind to test if SuperF4 was actually the program that killed your windows by trying it out again? :smile: I couldn't reproduce it on my machine.

Was nothing, sorry for blaming the program

It also happened to me. It seems SuperF4 is ending the "Windows Explorer" task, the one who's doing all the taskbar and desktop stuff. A quick solution is to sign out form the Ctrl+Alt+Del menu and relogging in.

I released a new version today that has a process blacklist with explorer.exe in it by default, which should hopefully resolve this issue. https://github.com/stefansundin/superf4/releases/tag/v1.4
