What is the one most important tip to keep your PC in good health?<\/p>\n

Always allow your PC to shut down correctly using the Windows “start” button.
\n<\/strong>
\nNever <\/strong>just switch off.<\/p>\n

This is because Windows performs some essential operations as part of the shutdown process.<\/p>\n

The Registry can become corrupt if you don’t shut down the PC properly causing your PC to behave unpredictably.<\/p>\n

The contents of the cache will be lost (cache is the part of the computer memory used when reading from and writing to the hard disk). This could corrupt documents and files you have been using.<\/p>\n

If you are on a network and do not perform a shutdown then any shared resources you have been using will still show as “in use” by the the network and may become unusable by other network users.\n<\/p>\n
