how to do esc+refresh+power on chromeos flex

[Evan P]

Hi. I have a question, so i want to know how to do esc+refresh+power on a non chromebook (chromeos flex) laptop.

Not really...
There is a Ctrl+Alt+Del soft reset, but as a result, there is no recovery option, the machine simply reboots...

Press Ctrl+Shift+Q+Q then Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R and it should prompt for a Powerwash. It is similar to starting fresh with recovery, but doesn't require a reinstall. If things are bad enough you need a reinstall you'll need to create a ChromeOS Flex USB with the recovery tool and then press Esc or F12 or F10 or whatever your PC requires when rebooting to get to the device selection menu to select the Flex USB to boot from.
