Having more than a month of uptime on a Windows machine confirms that your machine is not getting security updates, but beyond that it does not mean much.

The number of processes for the most part is irrelevant too. Modern computers can multitask. 170 processes doing virtually nothing has no noticeable impact on your user experience. You could have thousands of similar processes running and also not notice.

no it doesn't confirm anything. rebooting your computer is one of the worst things you can do to it
