 *Slow Computer?
Check out Martha's Web tweaks

*Microsoft PowerToys
Read Carefully and choose ONLY for your computer system.

*This "tweak" is from Jane [name withheld] "One of my Grandsons helps me with my computer glitches.    I asked him to take a look at why I couldn't make the card reader work.   He took it out of the port and stuck in back into the port again.   It
immediately worked!  Sometimes that is all it takes.

*Another "I should have thought of that" tweak [well maybe not a tweak] You have been working all day on your computer.  All of a sudden ae program doesn't work right.  You leave it for a minute and come back, still not right, it is slow, not responsive, or freezes.  The Tweak to fix it is a simple REBOOT.

There is technical explanation why that fixes things. But just remember this.  REBOOT.
