Hi John,

Think about your issue. Sounds like you are running it 24/7.
You can get away with that with Linux, sometimes Mac, but not
Windows.

Try this. Go into control panel, administrative setting, task
scheduler (I may have the names wrong) and set a task to
reboot your machine at 3:00 AM in the morning, every morning.

The command is

shutdown.exe /r /f /t 30

That will give you 30 seconds warning, is case yoy are pulling
an all-nighter
