Try this:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("shutdown.exe", "-r -t 0");
This starts Windows’ inbuilt shutdown
tool, which can also shut down or logoff a remote or the local machine.
Here is the list of full options from ss64.com:

You’ll probably notice that I have used the Linux/UNIX style of passing command-line arguments (using the ‘-‘) sign. On Windows, the convention is using “https://stackoverflow.com/”. This doesn’t matter – the program doesn’t care.
