To restart Remote Desktop when your computer is frozen, begin by pressing `Ctrl + Alt + End` to open the security options screen. Try to open Task Manager from here. If that fails, remotely access another device and use the `Taskkill` command in Command Prompt: `taskkill /f /im rdpclip.exe`. If neither works, you might need to restart the computer manually by holding the power button for several seconds.
