Improve Computer Performance

Restart your computer

Shut down or restart your computer daily. Restarting your Mac or Windows computer can often resolve minor issues and improve performance.

Restarting your computer clears temporary processes and refreshes system memory (RAM), which is responsible for launching and running programs. The more free RAM, the faster your computer will run.
