Press and hold the power or restart button. It'll turn off after a few seconds.

This sometimes happens to our computer also. The best advice I can give is just holding down the power button (on the pc) until it turns off. Then after 20 seconds turn back on again. It wont do any damage to the computer, so it's completely safe.

If the window does not close on clicking the close button,
press control, Alt and delete and then click on End Task.
The window will be closed. In case your problem is the
Computer is not shutting down even after clicking the
shut down button, you may manually shut down by switching off the power supply to the Computer. This problem may cause
when some file gets corrupted. Since it is always safe to
switch off the computer by using shut down mode, if the
problem persists, please set up the window files and the
problem will be solved.

You need to press the power button on your PC and don't release it until it powers off.

hold the power button on the machine for about 5-10 seconds... or unplug, wait for 15 seconds and plug back in.

Unplug it from a main socket and leave it unplugged 5 minutes. When you plug it back in, and boot up your computer Windows should start booting itself. Then do "scandsk" to scan your hard drive for a possible damages.
