How often do you turn off your computer?

[Retriever II]

My laptop goes into hibernate/sleep mode if I won't be using it for a while. I usually shut it down before I go to bed. However, Windows 10's "shut down" option doesn't really restart the computer's kernel, so if you're running Windows, it's important to restart your computer every week or so. Windows isn't always good about handling memory, and your computer's performance won't be as good if you go too long without restarting.

With a decent workcenter PC I've never seen this to be a problem. My record uptime with Windows 7 was 9 months and my record uptime with Windows 10 was 11 months. Said uptime was broken by a hardware upgrade and moving houses, respectively. Actually the only reason 10 was able to run that long is I'm pretty sure the update service got hung otherwise it would have run forced updates long before then.

So how often do I restart my computer? Only when Windows calls my bluff when I've been saying "I'll run the updates tomorrow" for 3 months.
