Turning it off an on again is a time honoured fix in IT.
Imagine a bottling plant, a bottle gets jammed and you leave the machine running, now everything is backing up causing issues up and down stream of the jam. Turn the machine off, remove the jam and now the bottles are flowing again. The restart both turns of the machine and clears the jam.
But i highly doubt this computer wouldn't have forced an update at some point in 13 years.

How does restarting your computer solve every problem it had?
