How to restart your device

If your device is running slow or something isn't working right, the first thing you should always try is rebooting your device (turning it off and on again). It is best to restart your device regularly.

Save any documents you have open, and close any programs.

Click the start menu button

Press the power button

Press the restart button

If you have any programs open, you'll be promted to close them, or you can force the reboot.

If you force the reboot, you will lose any unsaved work.
