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.
I will offer the other side of the question.

I shut my computers down every time I am done with them. With a cold
start every time I need the computer, I avoid all of the problems with
accumulated errors and memory leaks that occur when the computer is on
constantly.

Since these computers are all on my local LAN, they can be accesses or
access the LAN when ever needed. If the computer is on it can be
hacked. A Computer that is turned off, and can not be started from the
LAN, can not be hacked. It is the most secure computer in the world. So
since mine are turned off, my exposure and need for virus protection is
just a few hours per day that I use the computer.
