Member ConnectTech Tips: Give Your Computer a Break
If your computer is acting fussy or running a little slow, there's one simple thing that might do the trick: Shut Down! Give your computer a weekly rest.
Though it's hard to believe, electronics -- just like you and me -- need rest to perform at their optimal levels. Watch this Bask Tech Tip video to find out more!
Most of the time, technology runs great, and we depend on it for a lot of things. Computers work tirelessly so you don't have to.
But sometimes the best thing you can do for your computer is to turn it off for a while. Just like you and I need a good night's sleep to be our best in the morning, sometimes even your computer needs to take a break.
So if your computer is being a little fussy, and you aren't going to use it for a while -- maybe you have a family dinner or are going to the movies -- select "Shut Down" from the Start Menu and give your computer a break. Or you might shut it down as you are getting ready for bed at night, and then start it up fresh in the morning.
It's a good idea to shut down your personal computing devices -- your desktop computer, laptop, tablet, and/or smart phone -- once a week, for at least a couple of hours.
