# Google Cloud Console: stop and start a Compute Engine VM instance (repeat task)

## Steps
1. Go to **Compute Engine** → **VM instances**.
2. Click the three-dot menu next to the instance, then select **Stop**, and confirm.
3. Once the instance shows TERMINATED, click the three-dot menu again and select **Start**, confirming if prompted.

## End state
The instance moves TERMINATED → RUNNING again; any shutdown scripts must finish running before the instance actually stops.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
