PURPOSE Restarting clears temporary issues, applies updates, and reloads system services. STEPS Save your work, close open applications, choose restart from the operating system menu, and wait for the computer to fully shut down and start again. DO NOT Do not hold the power button unless the computer is completely frozen or you have no other option. AFTER RESTARTING Sign back in and test the original issue again. SUPPORT TIP If opening a ticket, mention whether you already restarted. Support teams ask because it genuinely fixes a shocking amount of digital nonsense.
