    More than a day?

    So you don’t shut down your Pc when done? I only ask as I always turn it off.

        Makes me wonder whether turning it off regular and particularly when not in use if it would have more longevity.

          I personally dont worry about because pcs usually get replaced after ~10 years anyway due to massive performance and efficiency increases.

          Laptops would be the only exception if you rely alot on the battery.

          As the other user stated, it’s not much of a concern as parts are usually upgraded frequently enough to not notice in PCs, but as far as things go I believe rebooting constantly is actually worse in the long run, just like starting your car from cold eventually wears down the starter, starting the PC from cold eventually wears down the PSU.

      I will literally go months without my PC being turned off or even rebooted. To each their own. 😂
