I have a remote desktop connection (from my home) to the company's server. On this I opened a Remote Desktop Connection Manager and inside this connect to a specific server.

I was busy copying a file but this task never ends. So I kill the process and now I have a blue screen and no more taskbar. Very frustrating. When I try `CTRL`+`ALT`+`END` (=`CTRL`+`ALT`+`DEL`) this is executed on the main server and not the server which gives me the blue screen. I don't know if I'm clear.

I know I should have keep Task Manager open and type `explorer.exe` into the **File**->**Run** but I close it.

Answer: 
Try "Ctrl + Shift + Esc" and hope the "frozen" server answer.
I would probably try to reboot the host using psexec

<http://ss64.com/nt/psexec.html>

```
psexec \\targetIp cmd -u username -p password

shutdown -r

```

then just keep pinging it until it comes back up. then attempt to reestablish your connection.
