    Other cures include literally just restarting your PC once a month so it can install updates.

      It’s windows. You’ll not have a choice in restarting at least once every couple of days.

      I mean, I use Linux but I’ve used a lot of Windows in the past. I don’t find either of them particularly more stable than the other. I had blue screens a few years ago on my laptop and that turned out to be faulty RAM. I haven’t had a Windows-caused BSOD in years. And all this talk of Windows suddenly starting an update while I’m using it, I’ve literally never had that happen.

      Or disabling the stupid power settings that mean a shutdown isn’t a shutdown, and turning your computer off when not in use

        It’s hilarious that so many issues in Windows can be fixed with a restart but then they made it not actually restart when turned off and on again.

          My understanding (unless they’ve changed it) was that a restart is a restart because software (either the OS or 3rd party software or both) may need the computer restarted to finish installing or updating stuff.

          I’d heard that a shutdown wasn’t actually a shutdown, though.
