Even if you tell me yes, I'm still going to double check. You have no idea how many users just say that because they think it's a copout (which, admittedly it kinda is) when it fixes so many problems.

Also, once you lie to me you lose more respect than you would have gained by actually restarting. Trust is hard fought for and easily lost.

I usually start conversations with your crew as "Sorry, I'm probably old enough to be your mother and awful with tech. I've googled and rebooted and that's as much I can do I'm so sorry". And I say it in a grovelling tone...

Also, the number of times where a second restart clears up the issue is insane.
