About Course

“Have you tried turning it off and on again?” is a joke for a reason – a restart really does fix many everyday problems. This course explains why, and shows you exactly how to restart an iPhone, an Android phone and a Windows computer, what to do if a device is frozen, and when a restart is not enough.

This course gives general guidance. Buttons and menus vary between models and software versions; check your device maker’s help pages. Tutwoo is not connected with Apple, Google or Microsoft.
