"Reboot, Refresh, Repeat: Why Restarting Your Laptop is a Must"

 

"Reboot, Refresh, Repeat: Why Restarting Your Laptop is a Must"

 

When you shut down your PC, Fast Startup saves the state of your RAM to the drive. When you turn the PC back on, this data is reloaded into RAM, allowing Windows to start faster. However, the downside of Fast Startup is that your RAM is never completely flushed, which can lead to performance issues or glitches over time.

 

To check your system's uptime, search for Task Manager in the Start menu or press CTRL + ALT + DELETE and select Task Manager. On Windows 11, you may need to click "More details" to expand the view. Next, navigate the Performance tab to see your system's performance metrics. At the bottom of the page, you’ll find Uptime displayed in the format DD:HH:MM:SS. For example, if it shows 8:17:31:06, it means the computer has been running for 8 days, 17 hours, 31 minutes, and 6 seconds since its last restart or reboot.
