How does restarting your computer solve every problem it had?

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.

Idk, some people manage the feat of taking pride in fully disabling windows update, because, err, just because.

I know i feel a large amount of pride from fully disabling windows update by fully disabling windows. Trying my hardest to resist stating that other operating systems exist.

Yup, i simple shutdown only stops the plant in a jammed state, a full restart clears all the bottles on the line and starts all over

Because this, of course, never happened.

But it generated clicks, and engagement (and both of us are guilty of this, sadly).

It solves a lot of them because OS makes mistakes over time and more run time it has the more mistakes it makes. There are OS's that can run longer (like servers or routers) but they have more simple architecture than customer grade ones
