Rebooting/Restarting your Computer
One of the most important parts of maintaining your computer is to restart or reboot your computer on a regular basis. While it's not required to restart your computer every day, it's best practice to restart your computer once a week.
As a reminder, shutting down your computer or closing your laptop lid is not the same as restarting your computer.
To properly restart your Windows computer:
- Click the "Start" button
- Select the power button
- Select "Restart"
