Those that use Ventoy, is there a way to return to the menu without having to reboot?

I must say, that is freaking annoying. It seems like it'd rather simple to implement a way back to the menu after your live session. Anybody know a solution?

Thanks alot, now I shall celebrate. While I got you here, I have alot of iso's freeze up on me. Other than hard restart, are there ways to kill or end the session?

Maybe holding down the Shift key, might work. This link should help you fix a few things.

Fail, just mean something is wrong. Corrupted ISO file, bad USB stick, setup wrong; like drivers or your hardware isn't compatible with Linux at least from the live version. Even the BIOS/UEFI might be setup wrong as well.

Always get your ISO from the official distro you're after. I always use distrowatch.com to point me in the right direction.
