In order to keep Cuesta computers working proficiently, the IT department frequently pushes out updates to your computer. If your computer does not get rebooted on a regular basis, the updates can get backed up and may cause your computer to run slow.
To ensure you keep a clean computer we suggest that you reboot your computer at the end of each day/shift, as opposed to signing out/logging off or shutting down.
Rebooting your computer is also a good trouble shooting technique when you are experiencing a computer issue. If your computer is backed up on receiving updates it may require more than one reboot.
If your computer is taking a long time to start up, it may be receiving a recently deployed update, please try to be patient and give the computer the time it needs. However, if you are rebooting regularly, long start up times should only be an occasional occurrence, so please reach out to IT, by placing a work order, if you continue to experience slowness on a regular basis.
