BigThunder computer SLOW

The computer next to the Big Thunder took nearly 10 min to switch users before you could unlock and get to the sign in screen. Anyone know what’s up? Can I turn off and on? I don’t want to get into something I don’t know how to get my way back out of.

I’d cycle power. Another user probably has something running that’s chewing things up.

Do a proper restart. Don’t just yank the power.

Thanks. I wasn’t going to flip the switch. I was going to power down and restart. Just didn’t want you to worry that you had a complete moron working on the lasers.

Yep, quite a few users forget to log out. Also causes connection problems with the lasers if they leave lightburn open. Thanks!

I was more worried that it sounded like I suggested it :slight_smile:

When I restarted it all was well.

My rule of thumb is to always do a restart whenever I sit down at a laser machine. It’s my experience that at least 75% of the time the individual before me just left without logging out and has something tied up resource-wise that will just cause me grief.
