How to Restart Your Computer

The single most effective fix for most problems.

1. Click the Start button in the bottom-left corner. 2. Click the power icon. 3. Click Restart. 4. Wait — this can take a couple of minutes.

Only hold the power button down for ten seconds if the screen is completely frozen and nothing responds.
