Can we talk about the 2 hours I wasted on a font issue for a client?

I spent last Tuesday morning trying to match a logo font for a brochure update, only to find out my computer hadn't saved a license update from six months ago. It took me two full hours of clicking around and googling before I realized the fix was literally restarting the software. Has anyone else chased a dumb problem like that and felt silly after?

Read an article that said 90% of tech problems are fixed by turning it off and on.

Start by remembering that font cache issue I had last year where I spent an hour deleting temp files before realizing Windows just needed a reboot too. It is always the simplest fix staring you right in the face.
