What should I do if my computer is not responding?

My computer is not responding. What should I do?

First, try pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete to see if the Task Manager opens. If it does, you can end unresponsive tasks.

I tried that, but nothing happened. What else can I do?

You can try a hard reboot by holding down the power button until the computer turns off, then turn it back on.

Will that cause me to lose any unsaved work?

Yes, unfortunately, any unsaved work will be lost. It's always a good idea to save frequently.

Thanks for the advice! Is there a way to prevent this from happening again?

To prevent future issues, ensure your software is up to date, run regular virus scans, and avoid overloading your system.
