Restarting your PC

Restarting (or rebooting) your PC at the end of the day helps keep it running smoothly. It clears temporary files, installs updates, and refreshes memory, which can fix small issues before they become big ones. It also helps your computer start fresh the next day, faster and more reliable. The following steps note the process to easily restart your PC at the end of your workday.

Please remember to save all of your work prior to rebooting your PC.

Ensure that all of your documents and files are saved and applications are closed.
