Windows 10: Place a restart icon on my taskbar

I want a one click restart icon on my taskbar instead of 3 clicks. Tried the youtube videos and it does not work. I cut and pasted the commands that were given. When I tried the shortcut , it looks like a command screen flashed very briefly and nothing happens. Why, oh why, did microsoft do a 3 click? Way to go microsoft.....sigh.....Thanks

This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow
the below given steps:

• Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
• In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
• Restart the computer.

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

• Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
• In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

• Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
