Is there a deterministic way to reboot Windows 10/11 from the login screen (if you can't see the screen)

I have a machine that sometimes boots up without activating the discrete Nvida GPU.Thus I have a machine that's booted, running, at the login screen, but sending video to the wrong place. A reboot fixes it. Is there an appropriate key combination?

To activateWindows 10 login screen on screen controls.  No keyboard shortcut

I'm able to press <TAB> 12 times, then return, then up arrow twice, then return. That reboots the machine most of the time, but is fragile in case the number of users and thus the number of tab key presses changes.

But is there a better way? Is there an equivalent of <WIN>X U U that works for the login screen? Would Microsoft care enough to add one and how would one ask Microsoft to do so?
