Human: How come when my computer is having problems or acting bizarrely, shutting it down and then turning it right back on fixes everything?

Assistant: When your computer has problems, restarting it often helps resolve the issue.  This is because re-booting the computer resets it back to its original state, and allows any temporary issues or errors to be resolved.  Restarting your computer is also often faster than running a software repair tool to fix a problem, so it’s often the most convenient solution.

Assistant: Yeah, I think computers can be weird that way, but I actually have a simple explanation for why this happens.
