Computer maintenance involves the routine tasks needed to keep a computer running efficiently and reliably, such as updating software, cleaning dust from internal components, managing storage space, running antivirus scans, and replacing worn-out parts. IT support staff and hobbyists perform maintenance to prevent slowdowns, crashes, and hardware failures, extending the lifespan of a machine. Good maintenance habits also protect against security vulnerabilities and data loss.
