[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

restart-emacs is a pretty useful command I use frequently on the WSL version of Emacs. Unfortunately, it does not seem to work for Windows.

I recall reading somewhere that it has something to do with how Windows schedules the restarts, though I seem to recall that restart-emacs was part of a package, and not included with Emacs itself.

Anyways, right now, the command simply closes Emacs but fails to start it up again, and works fine on WSL.

No further comments, so I presume this is indeed the same issue, and
I'm therefore closing this bug.
