The Importance of Restarting Your Computer

4/27/2021

Comments

 
Restarting Your Computer can help you avoid the computer repair shop
We recommend restarting your computer at least once per week, or more often if your computer is exhibiting strange behavior. This applies equally to Mac and Windows PCs. 

When we help people troubleshoot strange computer problems, inevitably we find that folks who have not restarted their computers in weeks or even months tend to have a lot more strange behavior on their computers. Why is this?

  • Computers that are not restarted regularly are often unable to install basic system updates that lead to better performance and reliability
  • Restarting your computer also restarts all of your apps and program that run in the background. It is a really healthy process for your machine.
  • Restart your computer prior to a session with Asheville Digital Lifestyle to ensure we can maximize the use of time for our session.

What about restarting smartphones, tablets, printers, wi-fi routers, and other technology? They need it too sometimes, though typically not as often as computers. Still, restarting any of your devices is the first step you should perform before spending time on other troubleshooting measures.
