Keep Your Computer Happy: The Weekly Restart

Did you know that simply clicking “Shut Down” or closing your laptop lid doesn’t install vital background updates? To keep your machine running quickly and securely, it needs a true Restart.

A proper restart applies pending security patches, clears system memory, and fixes minor glitches that build up over the week.

Your Action Item: Please restart your computer once a week (Friday afternoons are a great time to build the habit!).

  • First: Save your work!
  • Windows: Start menu > Power icon > Restart
  • Mac: Apple icon > Restart
