Hi,

I try to avoid rebooting, by closing the lid of my notebook into sleep
mode. However after a long time (a few days) things stop working, like
Task Manager fails to display WiFi stats. So I close and open it and it
works properly again. Maybe there is something wrong with my hardware. I
have never done memtest, I don't know how. Maybe a cosmic ray might
change a bit, but I live at sea level. On occasion my machine will
freeze up or reboot spontaneously.

To be on the safe side, how frequently should Windows 10 be rebooted?

Thanks in advance.

Don't know what the issue is - I live at 4500 feet and never have a
problem. Currently six computers - desktops, netbooks, chromebooks go
several months between reboots.


I know what you mean. I have a Win7 desktop which I recently upgraded to
quad core. For eight years I have been using a 3 drive RAID 0 storage
array. It stays steady for months no complaint. I use it as my main server.

I observed that after the quad core upgrade, there were fewer errors
shown in the Event Viewer. That is understandable because when I
purchased the Acer desktop Vista-32 was installed. Now it runs Win-7
64-bit better than my Acer Win-10 64-bit notebook. I purchased it less
than a year ago with Win 8.1 installed and now there have been two
upgrades of Win10. I try to insure device drivers are upgraded. The
Event Viewer shows a lot of errors. Maybe the quality of free OS is
less. As a disabled person I have some entitlement to Microsoft product
keys and the Win7 Enterprise is commercial grade. The Win10 is a Home
edition. I have contemplated whether I should try to purchase a
commercial grade of Win10. Win10 Home is a bit crippled, e.g. Remote
Desktop into it is not supported.

All the upgrades have been over Wifi and maybe some bit somewhere got
clobbered.

My Win10 system is screwed up. Underneath the Win10 upgrade is a lot of
Acer Bloatware. Acer Care Center is hung and I need to reboot.

Maybe someone with a similar experience could offer advice.

Thanks in advance.
