The Importance of Restarting Your PC

When we ask you to restart your PC, we promise it’s not just to waste your time, there’s many benefits to in fact save you time. If you don’t clean your room, it becomes cluttered and untidy, and you may eventually not find what you’re looking for. Doing a restart or a reboot gets rid of the clutter and helps your PC function optimally.

A Real Restart, Not Just Shutting Down

A shutdown on Windows these days isn’t a real one anymore (“fast startup”), but merely a hibernation. So, a true restart once every week or when you notice some things behaving weirdly, you know one is due. And one of the worst things you can do is using sleep mode indefintely.

Common Issues Solved by Restarting

There is a large range of things that happen to your PC which can be simply solved by restarting:

 – A sluggish PC that isn’t performing as it usually does
 – Your device crashing or freezing
 – Connectivity issues: Your device not connecting via LAN or Wi-Fi
 – Strange behaviour on your Microsoft Office Apps

Short and Sweet

If you aren’t restarting your PC often, you could be creating a lot of headaches for yourself. Some devices we’ve seen staying online for up to 3 months without even a shutdown. This has a major impact on the issues and performance you’ll experience.

So, please restart at least once a week 🙂

Cheers for now,
