   Reboot after updates. One person's external monitor stopped connecting. When we rebooted, it came back.
   
   Another person lost networking. A reboot fixed it.
   
   Also, someone's phone would not talk to the carrier. Again, rebooting after updates fixed the issue.

     @geniusmusing This brings something to mind. Two of my younger brothers (and zero of my older brothers) became the site "IT guy" at earlier employments because (in both cases) the real IT people worked at a different site and weren't willing to drive over and take care of problems.
     
     I suspect there's a dividing line in which few people born before year X had this experience, but many people born after year X had this experience, but with no random and mass observation data, it is just a suspicion.
