#2 – Restart Your Devices Weekly

Restarting your devices might seem basic, but it’s one of the easiest ways to keep your computer, phone, or tablet running smoothly and securely.

Why restarting helps

A simple reboot can:

Clear memory leaks that slow down performance
Install pending updates for your operating system or apps
Improve overall speed and responsiveness
Prevent system errors and reduce crashes

When to restart

If your device feels slow or sluggish
After installing software updates
At the end of the week as routine maintenance

Restarting gives your device a fresh start, freeing up resources and ensuring updates are applied correctly.
