Restarting a WorkSpace

If you are experiencing issues with your WorkSpace, you can restart (reboot) it. Restarting a WorkSpace disconnects you from your WorkSpace, so that it can be shut down and restarted. Your user data, operating system, and system settings are not affected. This process takes several minutes to finish.

Important

To avoid losing changes, save any open documents and other application files before you restart your WorkSpace.

  2. Choose WorkSpaces, Restart WorkSpace.

  3. When prompted to restart your WorkSpace, choose Restart.

  4. After you are disconnected from your WorkSpace, the client application login screen remains open. You can log back in to your WorkSpace, or close the screen.
