How often does restarting something fix it for you?

[BCRanger10]

Whether it's your phone, computer, television, game console, internet, or whatever it might be. If it's acting up or not working properly, how often does restating it fix it?

Meh, only one I've got this time...

[OddBeMe]

Ehh, prob more often than we realize. Certainly with wifi or cell coverage. Just knowing how internet providers operate, they throttle speeds on older connections, thus unplugging or turning off the device (router, phone etc) resets the connection.

Computers are like that. Its a phobia of mine when people never turn off their computers. Thats like sleep deprivation for a robot. Lol

Couple of times... most recently spotify wouldn't work on my phone and a phone restart fixed it. Or my girlfriend phone wouldn't connect properly via bluetooth to the car radio, restart fixed it.

Almost always unless its an xbox or nintendo 64. Those hoes still cut off mid game after a while

[Apple1996]

Literally never works to fix any of my tech problems

[Browneye57]

I'm the IT department. They call me the 'department of the reboot department'. LOL

The worst thing is when you restart it a dozen times and nothing then someone else pushes the button and it works first time

We call this "User Error" or ID-10-T (ID10T)

Sometimes it takes a magnetic personality’s touch.

Recently I have a PC that acts up more and more often. Restarting it almost always seems to fix it - - - for a while.

[Chazmatazz269]

Pretty rare. People should have a reset button though, right? I’d be resetting people every day! Ell oh ell!

[Blueeyes81]

I run machines at work that have been running 24/7 for 20+ years. Powering them off works about 75% of the time. Everything else about 25% chance.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Pretty much never. The only thing that works with is a modem or router (and only half the time), outside of that, its useless.

[FilmGuy93]

Probably a fair amount of the time. I'm a technological dinosaur. So I hand my tech off to other people to handle my problems! lol

[exitseven]

It often works. It is the first thing I try.

[msc545]

About half the time. Works well with computer issues.

[NathanDavis]

70% of the time... approx

[Fr9944j]

[NathanDavis]

@Fr9944j and I respect that...

[worldscolide]

I work in IT.. Literally multiple times a day..

[Andres77]

Because some people are really THAT stupid.

[Wise4myage]

My computer and iphone.

[BoobMan]

That is an epic meme!

[Twalli]

That's what I try first

[SaoirseS]

About half the time.

[ArtemisSilver]

Most of the time

[maximumpower]

[Fr9944j]
