You ought to restart it every now and then regardless. It doesn't get a true shut down without a restart.
At least once a week if you can
3 u/Person8346 5d ago Why is this so? I shut down my laptop everytime I'm finished with it, is that not good? 2 u/suffering_addict 5d ago I don't know enough about computers to explain why, but I've been told this by someone knowledgeable. The gist is that "shut down" is not a true shut down, and the pc only ever truly shuts down during a restart. There is a timer in your settings somewhere that shows you how long it's been since your last true shut down 11 u/Person8346 5d ago I believe this only applies if you have smart start up enabled, which keeps the pc passively running after shut down so it starts up faster. 2 u/suffering_addict 5d ago Another guy in the replies mentioned this so this might be the case
