    One great tip for Windows: If you have an annoying issue that tends to be solved by restarting, a lot of the time you can achieve the same result by logging out, then logging in. Even many drivers run at user level, so they shut off that way.

      What’s the benefit? On SSDs, it’s like 3 seconds longer to do a full reboot, maybe 15 if it has updates to finish.

      Don’t half ass it, whole ass it.

      Get Zorin or any other flavor of Linux instead! Windows 11 has unbelievable performance issues, not to mention tracking, ads, AI shit crammed down your throat.
