How do I reboot my Chromebook?

If your computer is not working correctly, one of the first things to try is rebooting it. Rebooting just means turning it off and back on again.

It's generally a good idea to restart your computer every few days or at least once a week. Regular restarts can help clear temporary files, refresh system resources, and apply updates. If you notice your computer slowing down or acting strangely, a restart can often resolve those issues. For devices that are left on for long periods, a restart every couple of weeks can help maintain performance.

 

To turn off your Chromebook, press the "Power" button.  In the menu that appears, select "Power Off."  Alternatively, you can hold down the "Power" button down for 3 seconds to turn off your Chromebook.  Once your Chromebook has shut down, you can press the power button to turn it on again, completing the reboot.

You can also hold down the "Refresh" button and tap the "Power" button to restart your Chromebook.
