# Reboot a WorkSpace in WorkSpaces Personal
Reboot a WorkSpace

Occasionally, you might need to reboot (restart) a WorkSpace manually. Rebooting a WorkSpace disconnects the user and then performs a shutdown and reboot of the WorkSpace. To avoid data loss, make sure the user saves any open documents and other application files before you reboot the WorkSpace. The user data, operating system, and system settings are not affected.

**Warning**  
To reboot an encrypted WorkSpace, first make sure that the AWS KMS Key is enabled; otherwise, the WorkSpace becomes unusable. To determine whether a KMS Key is enabled, see [ Displaying KMS Key Details](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/viewing-keys-console.html#viewing-console-details) in the *AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide*.
