The bad news is that Windows is not a stable operating system.
I completely disagree.
The
good news is that you can cope by shutting down or reboot once a day
I *never* do that--not unless an update requires it,Â* or I am going
away on vacation. And Windows remains completely stable.
Plus computers are like car tires, the longer you use them, the
quicker
they wear out.
I completely disagree with that too.

Hi Ken and Rene,
This the only place I find anyone who thinks Windows
is stable.
If you guys are not being tech evangelists (fan boys) and
are actually being honest, it is a good thing that your experience
if different than mine.Â* Means there is hope for Windows.
Also keep in mind that I only get called when things go
wrong.Â* And, glossing over quality issues in Windows
does not serve my customers well.
Rather than smothering my customers with M$ marketing bull
s***, I try to coach folks in the direction as to what will
make Windows more stable.Â* Actually shutting the damned
thing off at night is a good start.
Since I do not charge for five minute calls, when I
show up at a bizarre Windows 8+ problem and
simply pull the power plug and turn off Fast Boot,
I do take it in the shorts.Â* I do not bill for travel
time and do not have a minimum charge.Â* Hopefully
they have other things that need fixing too, but quite
often not.
I make a good living off of Windows poor quality,
except for fast boot.

I am being quite honest about this, I am not an expert but classify
myself as Having plenty of knowledge and experience (since 1975) on
various systems, WindowsÂ* is an extremely complex system which means I
will never be an expert but mostly manage to tame it to my liking.
I start it when I get up and turn it off when I go to bed.
I do a lot of experimenting and break it when things go wrong, So I
always have various copies of backups when required.
When I leave it alone it behaves very well week after week, no problems.
So yes It is stable, but I also have a good stable i9 system an an Asus
motherboard and a good 850 watt Coolermaster power supply which all helps.
Rene
Very cool.
Good hardware does help.
A lot of my customer use $400 cheap assed computers with
power blocks for power supplies. (Desktop, not laptops.)
Hey, it is a living.
