It may seem super basic: You should reboot your computer every now and then.
We’re not saying you need to power down and reboot every single day... though it’s not a bad idea.
Turning your computer on and off at least once a week can solve a lot of problems.
Restarting and shutting down/turning back on are effectively the same thing, says Gizmodo.
This might not fix all your problems, but it is worth trying if you’re experiencing some computer issues.
Most computer repair people do this before moving into more extreme measures.
