How to Prevent Windows from Freezing

The freeze of winter is hard on everyone and everything, especially windows. Seeing that on Tuesday, 90% of the US was literally frozen due to what meteorologists are calling a "polar vortex," we thought this would be the perfect time to talk about how to prevent your Windows from freezing with managed IT services!

The best way to unfreeze a window is to use a tool. For your vehicle's windshield, you would use an ice scraper and frantically hack away at the ice while cursing Old Man Winter. For Windows OS, the tool you use to unfreeze it is Ctrl + Alt + Delete. Likewise, this keystroke tool is often frantically used and may cause you to curse Old Man Gates.

Both kinds of frozen windows can be very frustrating, but there are solutions that will prevent them. One is very involved and requires people to pack up their belongings and move to place where sunshine dominates, like sunny Florida. This is probably the primary reason why Florida grew by more than 3 million people since 2000. Managed IT Service is a solution to prevent your Windows OS from freezing, and is likely a lot simpler than relocating your entire life. Managed IT is an automatic and preventive process that you can set up by calling Heart of Texas Network Consultants at (254) 848-7100. You don't even have to go outside for this one!
