Windows keyboard shortcut to restart a mac in High Sierra?
I'm using Ctrl + F12 in El Capitan to do this, but it doesn't work in High Sierra. Any idea?

On my mac I press the Control key and the Media Eject key simultaneously to get this dialogue box.

No I am using a mac keyboard, it is impossible to know what configuration of keys you have on your Windows keyboard.
Why are you using a Windows keyboard.
Try Control and the key where a media eject button would be, look at the screenshot below.
The empty space next to the F12 key is where my media eject key is, does your Windows keyboard have a
button there. If not I would go through and try any of the keys with Control to see if you get the Shut Down,
Restart or Sleep dialogue.
There must be another way with keyboard shortcut in the event your mouse doesn't work in the middle of work. So far what I can do is to make sleep apps shortcut from keyboard preferences. But it'll be better if there's a shortcut that can show power menu options like what Ctrl+F12 do.

Hold Down Simultaneously:
Are you holding down Ctrl + F12 simultaneously? So, hold both down at the same time (IOW: simultaneously) for a few moments. Then, see if it pops up.
Yes I know you said that earlier, have you tried different combinations of keys with the Command key pressed
to see if it brings up the shut down options.
Have you asked Logitech if the keyboard will be able to do this and which combination of keys to use.
Does holding Option key at startup work?
Did you use a windows keyboard? There's no Media Eject button on windows keyboard.
Yup, nothing happened.
I'm using Logitech K380 that is work on Mac too, and there's no eject button.
