5.) ... Restarting is used far too rarely!
However, many Windows users use restarting far too rarely, believing that turning it off and turning it on again is one and the same. But that's not entirely true under Windows.
Only when you restart does the Windows PC (regardless of whether it is 11, 10, 8, 1 or 7) shut down completely , the memory is cleared, all APPs are shut down and restarted. This is especially the case when Windows or Hybrid Standby, or better known as Retirement , is activated.
Rebooting (also known as "restart" or "restarting") is an important measure to return computers, electronic devices and software to a stable and functioning state.
There may be various reasons why rebooting is necessary:
Software updates: After installing software updates or patches, a reboot may be required to activate the changes.
Troubleshooting: If a computer or device is not working properly, restarting it can often help resolve the problem. This can be the case, for example, with frozen programs or unresponsive devices.
Free up memory: Rebooting can free up memory (RAM) for processes and applications that are no longer needed, which can improve performance.
Security: A restart can help close security holes and terminate malware processes.
Energy efficiency:Electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets benefit from occasional restarts as this allows them to work more efficiently.
Maintenance: In some cases, a reboot is part of the regular maintenance routine to ensure that a system is functioning properly.
Info:
Although reboots can be useful, they should not be performed too frequently as they can also consume time and resources. In many cases, problems can be resolved without restarting. It is important that you only restart your device or computer when it is truly necessary to troubleshoot problems or install updates.
