When your computer has been running too long, and has become unusable — massively infected by malware, too many rogue applications consuming and leaking resources — what do you do?
At the very least, you reboot to “safe mode”, running the bare minimum of necessary system processes, and cautiously bring programs back online one at a time.
If the system is just too corrupted, though, you invoke administrative privileges to shut it all down and do a clean reinstallation of the operating system.
