All the computers slowed down when I went to a browser! (Firefox, Chrome, IE, Edge)

One issue that has come up a couple of times. There is more than one computer in the office/home. There is a common sign-in/ home page or synced page on all machines (i.e. Google+). Surfing the web seems to be slower than ever, and all computers are acting up.

Troubleshooting Syncing

What do you do?
What do you do?

Log out of the home page, as it is possibly a sync issue. If you are active on all browsers, each time you go to a new machine, open the browser also logged into that home page, it is going to look for the data to sync and slow down. If it is a faster machine, or newer operating system this should not be an issue, but should it be an older machine it may slow down to a noticeable difference and the troubleshooting might work.

 

And if all else fails, before you give us a ring… REBOOT
