Quick tech tip: Shutting down isn’t restarting!

Closing your laptop lid puts your computer to sleep, but it leaves background updates hanging. A full weekly restart clears out memory clogs and applies essential security patches to keep your machine running smoothly.

Build the habit: Restart your computer every Friday afternoon.

  • Step 1: Save all open files.
  • Step 2: Select Restart from your Start menu (Windows) or Apple menu (Mac).
