The reason why this works is because it’s a very simple way to reset your computer. The basic idea is that when you turn off your computer, you’re actually stopping the flow of electricity to your computer’s components. When you turn it back on, everything starts from scratch and attempts to start up again.

In some cases, this process can clear up any problems with your system or software that may have been causing issues with the computer’s performance. Other times, it simply allows you to restart programs and services that have hung or crashed.

This is especially useful if you’re having problems with Windows Update or other updates failing to install properly, or if your computer keeps crashing for no apparent reason.
