DID YOU REALLY SHUT DOWN YOUR COMPUTER?
THINK AGAIN.

"Shut Down" doesn't actually mean shut down anymore. Modern Windows computers use a fast-startup trick, so shutting down just puts the PC into a deep sleep. If your computer is acting glitchy or running slow, always click Restart instead. That is the only way to force a complete system refresh.

Closing your laptop isn't shutting it off. All this does is put it to sleep.

We recommend doing a complete shut down at least once a week. This will help save your battery life. Even if you keep it plugged in charging. Do that complete shut down/REFRESH.

Any questions or concerns don't hesitate to give us a call Monday-Friday 8-5 410-574-2234

DO YOU HAVE IRREPLACEABLE FAMILY PHOTOS OR TAX DOCUMENTS ON YOUR COMPUTER?

Is the answer: YES!
Then you're not alone.

Storage drives fail without warning.

Make sure you have at least two backup copies—one on an external USB drive and one in cloud storage.

Have any questions, concerns or need help transferring your information give us a call. Monday-Friday 8-5 at 410-574-2234.

STOP REUSING THE SAME PASSWORD.

If you use the same password for your main email as you do for a random online store, a security breach at that store gives hackers the keys to your entire digital life.

This goes for anything you need a password for.

You should always use a different password for anything you do online.

Make it unique and long.

We suggest at least 2 numbers, 2 special characters and 2 CAPS.

Microsoft will NEVER ask you to call them.
If you get a terrifying pop-up on your screen with a 1-800 number claiming you have a virus, it is 100% a scam.
Don't panic and definitely don't call the number.

If you get a message that says don't shut down or turn off your computer with loud beeping siren noises, it is 100% a scam.
Just force close your browser or restart your PC.
Do this by hitting CTL, ALT, DEL at the same time.
When you restart your computer DO NOT refresh.
Close any open windows and restart completely over.
If you refresh nothing was cleared out.

As always if your ever in doubt just give us a call 410-574-2234 Monday-Friday 8-5.

KEEP YOUR LAPTOPS OFF THE BED, COUCH OR ANY SOFT FURNITURE. 💻❌🛏️
Laptops need to breathe.
Setting them on blankets, pillows, or your lap blocks the cooling vents.
This causes the laptop to overheat, which instantly slows down performance and permanently damages the hardware over time. ALWAYS use a hard, flat surface.

If your laptop is running hot or overheated don't wait to get it looked at.
Any questions or concerns give us a call Monday-Friday 8-5 410-574-2234.

Did you leave your laptop charger at home? YES

Have a Type C phone charger handy? YES

Look on the side of the laptop.
Does it have the port in the picture?
Should have the symbol that looks like a D with a P inside of it

THEN YOUR IN LUCK.
In a pinch you can charge your laptop using that Type C charger.
It will charge slow and take longer but it will work till you can get your normal charger.
