🖥️ Restart your computer once a week to keep it running smoothly!

Why Restarting Matters

Restarting your computer isn’t just a habit - it’s a performance booster. Regular restarts clear your system memory (RAM), stop unneeded background processes, and give your machine a fresh start.

Common Problems Fixed by Restarting

  • Slow applications

  • Frozen programs

  • Inability to reconnect to office drives

When to Restart

At minimum, restart your device once per week. If you work remotely and return to the office, restart upon reconnecting to pick up local IP addresses and mapped drives.

Pro Tip Restarting also finalizes software updates and security patches that may not take effect otherwise.
