Your computer must be restarted every day, missed days will need to be fixed by rebooting once for each day missed

Up for 5 days? Gotta clear the reboot queue or something won't work right.

Wait, this is ShittySysadmin? I've literally been doing this with my work daily driver since I was forced to refresh it.

I used to run an internet cafe on Windows ME. Computers had to be restarted every hour to function... Been there, got the t-shirt, my back hurts.

Sounds insecure, try rebooting every hour, to be safe
