As computers become more widespread around the world, it's important that everyone becomes better at solving common issues like slow devices and non-responsive programs.

Sometimes, the simplest strategies are the most effective.

Run Fewer Programs

Close any files or programs you are not using. Even closing extra browser windows you have open can help your device operate more effectively.

Restart Your Device

This clears the memory and allows your system to 'clean boot', freeing up resources in the process. 

Think of it like giving your device a break!
