A handful of your daily computer-related issues may potentially be fixed without too much hassle. These errors can range from problems with the RAM to Internet connection errors or buggy applications and the solution is as simple as restarting your computer.

Reboot your computer, check if the antivirus is properly running or not and turn this into a habit at least once per week.


Is your Windows 10 computer stuck on restart? Fortunately, we’ve got the right solutions for you.


2. Delete the Temp folders and files

Temp

  1. Go to the Start button.
  2. Click on the search bar.
  3. Then, you need to enter a cleaning command out of:
    %temp%
    Prefetch
    Recent
  4. Select all the files and folders that you want to delete.
  5. Next, press the Delete key on your keyboard or hit the Delete button from the Home menu.
  6. Choose to Skip if getting a File In Use or a Folder In Use warning during the temporary file deletion process.
  7. You won’t be prompted when the process is complete. Instead, the progress indicator will disappear. At that point, you may close the window.
  8. Finally, locate Recycle Bin on your desktop, right-click the icon, and choose Empty Recycle Bin.
  9. Confirm that you want to delete the items.

Note: You need to enter the cleaning command while using the PC in administrator mode. You can easily make yourself an administrator on Windows 10.

You should further try to delete the Temporary Files from the system. This does more than freeing up space but it also flushes out all different short-term tasks and data, allowing the PC and the installed programs to run more efficiently.

Don’t worry, manually cleaning out the Temp folders and file shouldn’t take ages. It could take longer than a minute only when you’ve got a large collection of temporary files.


3. Update to the latest Kaspersky version

  4. Right-click on the downloaded file option.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation procedure.
  6. Restart your PC for the changes to take place and activate the most recent version of the application.

Chances are you can get rid of the issue by installing the latest Kaspersky version on your PC. The updates contain the most recent files needed to fight against new viruses since the Internet is an incredibly fast-moving environment and the most needed bug fixes for the software itself.

Our advice is to make sure that your entire PC is up to date by enabling Automatic Update.
