You can restart from terminal:

Please see this guide on how to restart your Mac from menu bar:

Maybe MacOS Keyboard Shortcuts can help you, if you want to use your power button, e. g.


Power button: Press to turn on your Mac or wake it from sleep. Press and hold for 1.5 seconds to put your Mac to sleep.* Continue holding to force your Mac to turn off.


Control-Command-Power button:* Force your Mac to restart, without prompting to save any open and unsaved documents.
