Frequently Asked Question

You do not have to shut down a modern computer every night, but there is nothing wrong with doing so.

Sleep vs. Shutdown

If you use the computer every day, Sleep mode is convenient and uses very little power.

A full shutdown can be useful when the computer will not be used for an extended period.

Restart Periodically

The important thing is to restart the computer periodically. Restarting allows Windows to complete maintenance tasks and clears temporary processes that can sometimes cause performance problems.
