Troubleshooting

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the Mini PC and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet if necessary.

Close unnecessary applications and browser tabs. Restart the computer. Ensure all Windows updates are installed. Check Task Manager for resource-hungry processes.

Network connectivity issues

For wired connections, check the Ethernet cable. For Wi-Fi, ensure Wi-Fi is enabled on the PC and try reconnecting to the network. Restart your router and modem.
