How often do you turn off your PC?

[OverDrive]

I shut my PC down each night and it sleeps during the day when not in use.

 

[Neil79]

In Winter - PC is on all night ( helps me sleep )
In Summer - Off at night, as I use a fan!

Only time it's off for hours is if I'm not in

 

[Josh]

Every night by scheduled task at 00:30.

 

[bobuk]

If it's not in use, it's off.

 

[Samueltastic]

Yeah turn on to use and turn off when not in use. Pretty straight forward I do have a home server running 24/7 for all my media and network needs

 

[Glanza]

Shut down everyday after I'm finished on it with fast start up disabled.

 

[Fluffybob]

Gaming PC - on when I need it and off when I'm done. Media Server - on all the time except when away on holiday.

 

[Zeebedy]

yep. turn on when im on, and off once im off!

 

[mick4545]

Only on whilst in use In fact I can go days without turning on. These days it’s easier to lie on the bed with my iPad when just surfing.

 

[BUDFORCE]

Why would you leave anything turned on when not using it?

Might as well go out hunting polar bears.

 

[SimonRigga]

Might as well go out hunting polar bears.

That sounds much more dangerous than leaving a PC on..

Rarely ever, got to get the seeding time up on that there torrents.

Good on you for helping share those large distros cause that’s clearly what you meant.

 

[Threepwood]

my PC is turned off overnight, and when Mum wants to watch TV with me,( most evenings)
I don't leave my PC on because I don't want a win push update to reinstall edge win10 on my PC, nor do I want it to realise that my installation is not legit, thus bringing back the activate windows watermark, etc

Into the petabytes on some Linux distro uploads. We're in the endgame now.

 

[haaammit]

Oh, forgot to add, media/dedi game hosting server and NAS are obvs running 24/7

 

[marinersfan]

Every time I'm finished with it.

 

[Servo]

24/7, it's on for recording the security cameras and Irc. I use winaero to stop updates

 

[Scotteh]

Any time I'm not using it.

 

[Yrkoon]

i shut it down when im not using it a lot these days with nvme drives etc it boots up rapid but in the old days of mechanical drives it would be on most of the time
