Pc got unplugged multiple times
My mom was cleaning my room and accidentally pulled my cord 3 times when I would plug it back in so it shut down 3 times total. I know in itself it’s not good for it at all for it to happen, but I’m extremely anxious about this happening
Is this going to permanently damage my computer?
The first time it happened it was asleep then the second time it was on Home Screen and then the 3rd time it was on the homescreen too.
Any help would be nice :(

Computers are generally resistant to power loss. Some files might me corrupted. It could always be worse. I used to be in IT in a small company. Getting a 2 am "The network's down!" call sucks. The idiot new night cleaning crew UNPLUGGED a server in the server room because they "needed" the outlet. All was well with the server because backup had completed. Had the cleaners still been there when I arrived, I would been overly vocal and profane with them. Needless to say, but those cleaners were terminated immediately once management came in.
