not even sleep mode. How can it be asleep even though the fan on my laptops still at full power and ocasionally my laptop overheats? sleep used to be atleast remotely close to a shutdown.
@@jaaad344 It is far more complicated that that. Integrated circuits are solid state devices. That means no moving parts or in other words no wear and tear. These devices should be virtually timeless apart from one detail. If you power the device on, a voltage will now be across its body. This voltage will create tiny internal forces which are internal stress. Turning the device off releases the stress. Now cyclical powering and depowering means this stress will keep keep appearing and disappearing. Over time a crack will appear and that's when the device actually dies. Keeping the device constantly powered on will stop this cycle.
There are a few errors in what you're saying. 1. Uptime includes the time the system has been active and the time the system it spent in sleep or hibernation. (0:09) 2. The computer still shuts down, even with Fast Startup on. Keeping Fast Startup disabled will slow down your startup time. (0:20) 3. Not fully shutting down a computer will not kill its components over time, as modern computers are designed to handle regular shutdowns and restarts. (0:28) In the 15 seconds you had left (since TH-cam Shorts only allows for 60 seconds, aka 1 minute), you could have explained better what uptime is, and be more accurate about all the rest.
And also on his third statement, ACTUALLY let computer run continously extended its life rather than shutdown it. The only reason we do that on PC is because of the electric bill. But small, old PCs that many homelab uses as small servers for websites or VM servers run perfectly from days to days.
@@superspies32 Your statement is generally true. Continuous operation can extend the life of a computer, especially for older or low-power machines used as servers in home labs. However, it can also generate more heat over time, which can damage components if proper cooling mechanisms are not in place. In addition, running a computer 24/7 can increase energy costs, which can offset the potential benefits of extending the life of the device. Continuous use can cause components such as fans, hard drives and power supplies to wear out more quickly. This leads to reduced reliability and increased failure rates over time. Rebooting a system regularly ensures that critical security patches and updates are applied promptly. This reduces vulnerabilities and maintains optimal performance. Some hardware failures are less likely to occur during periods of idle time. For example, memory corruption caused by prolonged operation.
@@winlogon. actually there are mini PC with low power and heat generated suitable for that task now. In my hospital they have HALOS system of MGI for NIPT and it included 1 mini PC for result management.
This gave me a good chuckle, I’ve seen servers with years of uptime before. As an engineer, continuous operation doesn’t necessarily lead to failure. Continuous full throttle operation is where it’ll really take its toll.
bro ACPI exists, it's the same as turning it off from the start menu. in fact you can change what the button does in the control panel. I use the button all the time, just don't hold it down because that is a force shit down event that may cause data loss or OS corruption. only hold down if the PC is locked solid.
No. That feature is automatically enabled within Windows for a reason. It saves you time every time you boot up your computer by having all your RAM contents stored in long-term storage, and has no negative implications for your computer. It is also why restarting your computer generally takes more time than shutting down and turning it back on, as a restart fully shuts down your computer. Like others said, power-cycling your components often is technically more harmful than just keeping your computer on (it's like doing a workout once a month rather than every day) -- however, neither way of running your computer will magically make a component die within a week or even a year; you're perfectly fine keeping it on or off. For those "source?" peeps, I work in IT, and everything shared here is also easily Google-able
Yeah instead of doing it just restart and all temporary files will be cleared your PC will have full refresh all things will load again that's why shutting down is not full shut down
I work in IT too and I have to disable this all the time for end users, unless they regularly actually click on restart then their computer never thinks it’s been rebooted and they get pop up from their organization telling them they must reboot. Most of them just press shutdown at the end of the week and never do a literal restart.
@@loganc2087 I see where you're coming from, and it makes sense if they constantly complain about minor bugs that arise w/o a restart I pretty much was tackling the misinformation of what it actually does Good to see another IT fellow here!
Wait, that's how you shut down your PC? I just take out the power supply, throw it away, and get a new one every time. Edit: People who say "Edit: MOM IM FAMOUS!!!" are cringe and unoriginal.
@@realskellyboiI wouldn’t think so. I dont turn off my computer, though i have considered because ik its probably not the greatest idea to leave it running so long
@@Xze3for PC health it's totally fine and arguably even better to leave it running as the components will get less stress from changing voltages and less exposure to heat cycles which is a main cause of failure. Economy wise you're paying a bit more for electricity but not that much
@@Xze3it’s fine. Think industrial/enterprise. Servers run YEARS without ever being turned off. I would atleast restart it monthly so it doesn’t get buggier than Windows normally is.
Be noted: Computers can stay ON for years without turning it off, even while roaming at 80°c non-stop, computers are designed to handle a lot of stress, we turn them off to, save power, because the noise prevents sleep, or to maintenance, but generally, they can stay up forever as long as they get electricity, so it's nothing to worry about, it won't damage anything.
also sometimes the pc can lag a lot due to being overloaded with cache or other things, just rebooting it does the trick of clearing some used memory and other things. i dunno how to tell u this in english
pretty much the same, i have been having a couple hardware failures, dead HDD-s from read-write cycles and a couple of bad bearings in the cheap 5$ case fans i bought 3 years ago. i have been running it for at least 6 years now with no stops except power outage.
@@andrrrrew21xDNah fast startup doesn't prevent your computer from shutting down, it just saves all the os files in your RAM to your drive and then shuts your computer down
If you're clueless like this guy, PC components don't wear out with use over time, this is because they have no moving parts (with exceptions to the fans). The best analogy I've ever seen was "Computer parts are more like light bulbs, they're all designed for a specific wattage, voltage, and temperature, too much or too little of those and you're in trouble." Edit: Also worth noting that some chips are rated for a specific amount of power cycles, primarily because the capacitors inside components (Motherboard, GPU, PSU, RAM, ETC.) are being charged and discharged, the capacitors aren't what wear out here, but the components in the path to the capacitors, which wear out faster.
@@kasperjensen1712 Correct, and it's arguably worse to turn it off and on constantly, as electronics age, they become less efficient and thus require more voltage to run (this is why your smartphone battery dies faster as it gets older). It's more likely to be noticeable when powering on a component that's seen heavy use but has recently been powered down, in an old component, the effect becomes greater and greater with every power cycle. So yeah it's better to leave it on or at least in sleep mode. TL:DR: Electronics become inefficient with time, better to leave older parts on or in sleep mode.
@@dalek.6171 Damn, I've been using the same parts in mine since 2017 (with only exception being the GPU), and running them 24/7. A MSI B350m Mortar Arctic, and a R7 1700. Expecting AMDs support for the CPU to end in a year or two which is gonna suck, especially since it's a silicon lottery chip.
Phone batteries mostly die faster over time because of internal chemical processes. There might be some small actual component wear, but mostly it’s battery degradation
Dang this helped me a lot as a gamer my computer has been turned on for 10 hours now u reached me how to prevent that thx and I subbed and liked ur vid 😅😅
High uptime doesn't "Kill your components", I've used machines as servers and had them running nearly constantly, always hitting about a week or two of uptime. That was all old hardware with a shitload of total uptime as well. Also, 8 hours is rookie numbers
Once I had a mcgyver’d server out of ancient hardware and mismatched ram and it ran for almost a year straight. It wasn’t anything critical, just ran some android vms, so I didn’t really update it haha
Super Fun Fact: modern shutdown isn't a full shutdown either. it saves system info to disk before turning power off, so it turns back on faster. if you want a clean shutdown and start, use restart instead
@@mtfcommanderdagger well i have news for you, its not, restart does a "real" shutdown or off state, then boots it back up, so regardless if you have fast start up or not, Restart will clear the memory, refresh the Kernel and reset the cache
big brain btw flipping the power switch on your power supply also resets up time edit: as long as it isnt running when you flip the power switch, it wont damage or kill the computer. I've done it to my computer many times throughout the years and it still runs just fine
It doesn't look like it's intentional, as it appears he really believes in own words. 😂 Still, he shouldn't pretend to be knowledgeable about stuff he barely licked.
@@SteelG_TR In regards to this video. The part about fast startup is actually true. Rest is bullshit. Having your PC running nonstop cannot kill your components overtime. Computers aren't mechanical engines. They degrade, yes, but not with usage. Dust and most importantly heat kills PC components. Properly cooled and regularly cleaned PC can run 24/7 no problem. Systems get cluttered and slowed down overtime. The longer the system runs without complete shut down, the slower it gets. But it will take months before you notice anything. If you keep your OS up to date, which you absolutely should, there will be updates that require restart. At least one every month. Just don't postpone those and you'll be fine. Don't shut down your PC with a power button like some sort of psychopat. Do it from Windows Start menu like a normal person. This was actually the most risky thing he did in the video. Yes, now days using power button usually works just fine, but the chances of something going wrong are never zero. Using the Start menu they are always zero. Overall I would still suggest turning fast startup off. With todays fast SSDs the benefits of fast startup function are miniscule. And the disadvantages prevails.
@@uncertaintytoworldpeace3650 Yes, but that's the dust. Time makes no difference here. Computer can run for months without reboot in air filtered room, then you throw a box of dust at it and things might start to break. Car engine will running in the same room will break eventually just from the friction.
I tell people at my job (I work IT) all the time that it isn't a true "shut down" just so that people actually freaking reboot their PCs... like come on, if you have issues, just reboot and let Windows update. "Shut Down" does not count. Yes it's an interesting Hibernation that doesn't really effect to much (thank god), but when they don't reboot after 10+ days, the laptops drivers act up.
yes and it sucks. I disable this by default for every customer and they never complained again about network/printer errors, because fast startup can fcuk up things because of the "long runtime"...
for ar thr people: UPTIME IS TIME WHEN OS WAS ON. your os doesnt turn itself off. it logoffs and saves the state to the drive. hence the name of the setting: fast startup. uptime doesnt mean anything with your computer being on. but it can cause some issues with apps being slow. just disable fast startup or click restart button instead. restart button was designed to bypass fast startup. have a nice day😊 Edit: it cannot kill your components (your components always die over time but super slow you cant notice) Edit 2: your power button makes your computer sleep if it instantly turns off the lights. this is more problematic than fast startup. just use windows to turn your computer off.
Yes you are partially right it's not really running however it does preserve even RAM as long as fast boot is on that's why you hear copy pasting cheat devs who manual map drivers into memory telling people to restart instead of shut down as otherwise the driver stays loaded next time you turn on the pc
System stability: Fast startup involves saving system information to a file, which can sometimes become corrupted or cause other stability issues with your computer. By disabling fast startup, you can help to ensure that your system runs smoothly and reliably. - Linkedin
Fun fact: it's actually healthier for a PC to stay on rather than shut down every day (other than the casual restarts and stuff) because when PC components heat up and cool down often you risk the bonds to crack and break causing (obviously) dead components. Also, this only works if the PC has proper cooling and ventilation as overheating is way worse than shutting down the PC.
I completely agree. Just think about how much damage the expanding and contracting breadboard can do to the traces over time. That metal is going to crack.
The constant turning on and off of electronics wears them down faster than continual uptime. Addendum to the upload though, if you click on shut down from the windows tab while holding shift, it does a full power down of the system instead of a hybrid hibernation/shutdown mode. Useful for if you're noticing performance issues. The only downside is that your boot time will be longer (though barely noticeable if your boot time is already sub 30 seconds)
😂Where'd you got that Information? Cpus do not contain movable parts and they practically do not wear out. Let's not talk about how your cpu is while runtime at around ~40-60°C, heat and in idle room temparature
I lost my entire custom-built rog themed pc due to an accident that was my fault I worked 2 jobs to save up for it for a bit I told asus about this warranty saved me from losing my hobby
1. Computers aren't harmed by being on for too long. They don't need to sleep to stay healthy. 2. A computer in hibernation (which is what "Fast startup" uses) is _off._ It's not using any power beyond regular standby power usage in a "true off" state, and you can even cut power to it completely, and still have it come out of hibernation just fine. And yes, ACPI technically allows the S4 state to consume some additional standby power beyond "true off", but no computer has ever implemented hibernation that way. S4 only differs from S5 in what's written to the disk - you can even build 2 identical computers, boot both, shut one down, hibernate the other, then swap the disks to see the one you originally shut down... come out of hibernation instead!
@@godw1ll99 when you can say me how a hdd does cache data into ram when there are 2 or more sources then i could think about this. solution: the hdd drive has a pre-located point thats given for data, that are lines. like a vinyl record. the mechanism automaticaly changes the head reading position by lets say 1 nanometer (by a 1 tb hdd i have) i dont know that exactly. when more files get accessed, the pc exactly pre-plans how the head should move and makes a sine wave to where the head moves. the sine could be accessed in the c64, as the floppy disc head position assistaint (full name no shit) in newer versions ya cant get this feature because the sine is so fast that the screen hz dont make it (tip: you have 500 fps screen? hmmm, your pc does still render 45 fps per second, and THE SCREEN makes a soft movement. otherwise you can see that by using a crt television at a nvidia gforce rtx 4060 Ti, then you can see the effect.) the sine of the head will now jump quickly to these points, and it also when it is nececary also partialy reads some system info while gliding by making the head a bit slower to catch at least 1 byte (1 byte=8 bits. so its a 4-4 saturation process by getting that) the caching into ram is by busses simply get the data to upload it and then it will slowly corrupt. when a hdd reads something wrong, z.B. an impossible position in one of the ram or the pc components that may cause a fatal damage uses to make a bsod. in win95 the processes were held and the cpu frozen by a bsod so may the pc continue at risk. ok im too lazy to explain this further. but in linux opensuse KDE, i own a realy old pc, with the scoll 3-50 disc 40 1991 edition you get a simple tool to run in this that can render the hdd and the ram as a bitmap image scrolling to left and right. for the local cpu and hdd and memory etc theres a big image with nombers with background numbers. so, please explain me: the youtube servers (ironicaly running on windows 2001 server family, it seems the system still does the job) are running now a lot of time up. the memory isnt cleaned in any way, um, ... im stuck in the first 20 % of the video paused. look at the background processes. theres a bitcoin miner. its this with the "0%", where the 0 is out of location order. i think that guy knows exactly that about compunters as apple users saying their system is great for its low price when you tell them to type android in combination with copyright in google and they see its copyleft (free to copy and free no price 4 ever) and they sudenly realize that samsung must have the double amount of speed by the price of a iphone... just my coworker realized that... that look was so funny whatever: memory cache gets a reset on every bus every cpu tick on every numeral bus. so data is transfered ... oh i just realized that i missunderstood that message. now im too cool to delete all of my lyrics >:)
Ok, there is quite something to unpack here. 1. System options No, this option does not change if you system is shut down or going to sleep. NO! there options don't damage you computer. In worst case it uses up some of your write cycles "reducing lifespan" of your SSD(though by not much), if not setup for HDD 2. The Power button. Sleep is the default power button action for laptops. Shut down is the default power button action for desktop PCs. (You can change that to you pref.) So on desktop if you press(not holding) the button that's the same as if you choose shut down from the menu in your bottom left corner. 3. Uptime in task manager. PC's have several features to reduce loading times on boot. To name two Windows options: Fast Startup and Hibernation - are similar but serve different purposes. Hibernation saves an image on your Hard drive and shuts down your computer, while Fast Startup saves an image of only the system kernel and loaded drivers to reduce boot time. or in other words. With these options ,Windows is Saving your current state (that is active in RAM) to your hard drive. So uptime only resets, when everything/most files get reinitialized = use restart from you options menu (that's why a 'restart' fixes more problems then 'shut down and starting again'; i.e that's why Tech support always ask first to restart the PC/ device) I think a good analogy would be: Imagine your playing a game and know you can't play it for the next 3 weeks. now you can ether - Start a new Game - just return after 3 weeks to the game and try to remember what you have done last time. or - write down what you have done in bullet points: who have i talked to, what am i doing, what are the next steps i want to do, what are my best items and so on.

You can choose to do all these steps, or you can just hit the restart button :) Restart also fully turns off the pc and OS and don't worry your components wont get fried from having that timer be on a high number. In theory you don't really have to restart at all but if you feel your pc is lagging or is a bit buggy a restart can often help you out in practice. :D
Comp engineer here. No difference between sleep and full power off, some would argue full power off can "technically" cause more issues. Either way its essentially the same given proper restarts every once in a while to correct normal system errors. Power surges will not effect a sleeping PC due to the surge protectors. Again... STILL RESTART YOUR PC every week or so.
@@TaylorMinecraftGaming I only work with computers every day and have an intimate knowledge on how restarts and hibernation effects volatile data. But sure, i have never.

nah fast startup just saves RAM to disk before shutting down, it doesn't keep the computer on forever, which means that the entire PC does in fact turn off completely, but it restores the uptime clock when you turn your computer back on.
Leaving your computer on absolutely 100% does NOT degrade components. That is a myth that was debunked a decade ago. If you had 2 completely identical computers and you left one on 24/7 and turned the other one off each night, they would both last for exactly the same length of time. 100% guaranteed.
@@HISKILP the old computer that I mess with is 15 years old and it begs to differ the real thing that kills parts is defects , heat cycle count and user error like using windows 10 on a old PC
Computer components are designed to be used. There is reason why you'd disable it, but not to save your components. Putting the computer in a hibernation state (fast startup) means that your RAM gets dumped to the hard disk, so your computer will boot off of that. The computer does actually turn off, but when it turns back on, it loads that memory dump, making your boot faster. I have it off because I like to have fresh reboots, especially when I often tinker with my computer.
It also causes other problems........Windows neglects to write changed files back to the partition when Fast Startup is enabled and a shut down occurs. So if you try to access the partition from other OS there's a risk of losing data (for example Linux will warn you that the partition has unwritten changes). It also seems to cause problems with Intel WiFi for some reason, seems to write persistent data that then prevents it from working properly with other Windows installations and also Linux.
Just for people who think this is useful, No matter if you press the power button physically, or use the digital one, turning off quick start-up saves the states that certain files are in before completely shutting off, so it can quickly load them, saving start-up time. It does not keep your computer running completely, only saving some files' states. But it can help to turn it off, it's rare, but it can cause problems, when it does happen, most of the time it causes certain files to become corrupted.
Never take any advice from youtube short. There are some genuine one but also a lot of misinformation one. It’s likely that these youtuber just read it off google without having any knowledge about the topic resulting in them spreading misinformation
Honestly the advice wouldn't do anything negative, it's just based on a severe misunderstanding of how computers operate. It's up for debate if your computer running nonstop is worse than the jolt of power to boot it back up every day, so it's whatever you want. Personally I don't shut mine off or hibernate it. It's a machine, it doesn't need sleep.

@@admiral_gwiezdnejfloty Absolutely true. Having your CPU run inside the temp specs all the time is much less damaging than turning it on and off all the time. And that's ONE of the reasons why the power button sets your pc into energy saving mode, NOT offline
In 2023 I used to have windows 10 and instead of clicking shut down I click the power button, I kept on doing this when I last time clicked it I started it and took 1 hour to load and then you won't see the apps and the time will freeze, I had to get it repaired for about 7 months.
It doesn't kill your pc. The windows services and components that are stored in the ram get stored to the SSD. When the system starts up The ram copies the data from the SSD instead of getting it from scratch allowing for faster startups.
He did not save your PC, he simply made it boot slower. All that changed. The only thing that kills hardware is turning it off and on again. Due to heat and microstress basically bending parts a tiny amount until they break. If you never turned off your PC, heat would stay roughly the same and the tiny forces applied by the voltage would be constant, ie it's unlikely for the PC to ever die. In 99% of cases when a system dies, it does so between turning it off and on again. TL;DR: Your PC has less issue running for over a decade straight than it has being turned off and on again thousands of times, and this short does nothing to improve the longevity of your components.
Computers are designed and much more comfortable with being left on 24/7 (providing that their airflow is not blocked with debris) Switching your PC off and on like this causes more wear to the drives of your PC and other components such are capacitors being charged up and discharged. I've had my PC running non stop since 2019, not had a single component failure and my drives health are all above 97%
The amount of misinformation on TH-cam is wild, this video is wrong, and misleading all these viewers is messed up. There is research supporting the exact opposite of this... Leaving your computer on as opposed to shutting it off every time is actually less stressful on a few components. Edit: i love how I'm not the only one calling this dude out, its good to know some people aren't morons
Those few components being mostly high voltage capacitors on things like the PSU which is why they're 'Always on'. Repeated discharge and recharge cycles can lead to bulging and eventual failure. Silicon is basically being atomised in chips these days due to their process node, they are effectively dying the moment you apply voltage little by little. Same is true for older chips but it just takes longer. There's so many safeties these days anyway because of fire regs etc that as long as you're buying proper components that are engineered and you've cooled everything correctly (Not just the chips) then the life expectancy is overall longer than it's ever been with less waste heat. It shouldn't matter if you leave it on or off. Just make sure you restart that OS for security and that's literally it
@@nuggetschannelcz I don't think they're morons, but I'd imagine a common trait of morons is to accept something they hear from a random source on the internet as fact without doing any further research or critical thinking, even if said source is one that is claiming to be an expert on the subject. TBH, we probably shouldn't be accepting either point of view as facts in our worldview without further research. The fact that so many commentators are calling this guy out suggests that he's probably wrong, so I'm definitely leaning that way, but I think it's probably smart to find more experts weighing in on this first or even looking for studies before stating it as fact one way or the other.

Using electrical components does wear them out over time
@@jaaad344 No sh*t. The guy was suggesting that not shutting your pc down can cause premature wear
@@jaaad344 It is far more complicated that that.
Integrated circuits are solid state devices. That means no moving parts or in other words no wear and tear. These devices should be virtually timeless apart from one detail.
If you power the device on, a voltage will now be across its body. This voltage will create tiny internal forces which are internal stress. Turning the device off releases the stress.
Now cyclical powering and depowering means this stress will keep keep appearing and disappearing. Over time a crack will appear and that's when the device actually dies.
Keeping the device constantly powered on will stop this cycle.

There are a few errors in what you're saying.
1. Uptime includes the time the system has been active and the time the system it spent in sleep or hibernation. (0:09)
2. The computer still shuts down, even with Fast Startup on. Keeping Fast Startup disabled will slow down your startup time. (0:20)
3. Not fully shutting down a computer will not kill its components over time, as modern computers are designed to handle regular shutdowns and restarts. (0:28)
In the 15 seconds you had left (since TH-cam Shorts only allows for 60 seconds, aka 1 minute), you could have explained better what uptime is, and be more accurate about all the rest.
And also on his third statement, ACTUALLY let computer run continously extended its life rather than shutdown it. The only reason we do that on PC is because of the electric bill. But small, old PCs that many homelab uses as small servers for websites or VM servers run perfectly from days to days.
@@superspies32 Your statement is generally true. Continuous operation can extend the life of a computer, especially for older or low-power machines used as servers in home labs. However, it can also generate more heat over time, which can damage components if proper cooling mechanisms are not in place.
In addition, running a computer 24/7 can increase energy costs, which can offset the potential benefits of extending the life of the device. Continuous use can cause components such as fans, hard drives and power supplies to wear out more quickly. This leads to reduced reliability and increased failure rates over time.
Rebooting a system regularly ensures that critical security patches and updates are applied promptly. This reduces vulnerabilities and maintains optimal performance. Some hardware failures are less likely to occur during periods of idle time. For example, memory corruption caused by prolonged operation.
@@winlogon. actually there are mini PC with low power and heat generated suitable for that task now. In my hospital they have HALOS system of MGI for NIPT and it included 1 mini PC for result management.
I was about to comment that, but you basically summed it up for me 😂
So just to sum up what u just said, is not to turn off that setting
This gave me a good chuckle, I’ve seen servers with years of uptime before.
As an engineer, continuous operation doesn’t necessarily lead to failure. Continuous full throttle operation is where it’ll really take its toll.
Bro, who tf shuts their pc down by PRESSING THE POWER BUTTON

I use the button all the time, just don't hold it down because that is a force shit down event that may cause data loss or OS corruption.
only hold down if the PC is locked solid.

@@JessicaFEREM I never meant you can't do it, it's rather a question of why.
Yes. Who does that? When there is a faster switch on the back of the PSU
No. That feature is automatically enabled within Windows for a reason. It saves you time every time you boot up your computer by having all your RAM contents stored in long-term storage, and has no negative implications for your computer. It is also why restarting your computer generally takes more time than shutting down and turning it back on, as a restart fully shuts down your computer.
Like others said, power-cycling your components often is technically more harmful than just keeping your computer on (it's like doing a workout once a month rather than every day) -- however, neither way of running your computer will magically make a component die within a week or even a year; you're perfectly fine keeping it on or off.

Yeah instead of doing it just restart and all temporary files will be cleared your PC will have full refresh all things will load again that's why shutting down is not full shut down
I work in IT too and I have to disable this all the time for end users, unless they regularly actually click on restart then their computer never thinks it’s been rebooted and they get pop up from their organization telling them they must reboot.

If you're clueless like this guy, PC components don't wear out with use over time, this is because they have no moving parts (with exceptions to the fans). The best analogy I've ever seen was "Computer parts are more like light bulbs, they're all designed for a specific wattage, voltage, and temperature, too much or too little of those and you're in trouble."
Edit: Also worth noting that some chips are rated for a specific amount of power cycles, primarily because the capacitors inside components (Motherboard, GPU, PSU, RAM, ETC.) are being charged and discharged, the capacitors aren't what wear out here, but the components in the path to the capacitors, which wear out faster.
So this vid isnt true? My pc says its been running for 7 days, But does it do anything?
@@kasperjensen1712 Correct, and it's arguably worse to turn it off and on constantly, as electronics age, they become less efficient and thus require more voltage to run (this is why your smartphone battery dies faster as it gets older). It's more likely to be noticeable when powering on a component that's seen heavy use but has recently been powered down, in an old component, the effect becomes greater and greater with every power cycle. So yeah it's better to leave it on or at least in sleep mode.
TL:DR: Electronics become inefficient with time, better to leave older parts on or in sleep mode.

High uptime doesn't "Kill your components", I've used machines as servers and had them running nearly constantly, always hitting about a week or two of uptime. That was all old hardware with a shitload of total uptime as well.
Also, 8 hours is rookie numbers
Once I had a mcgyver’d server out of ancient hardware and mismatched ram and it ran for almost a year straight. It wasn’t anything critical, just ran some android vms, so I didn’t really update it haha
I checked my friends laptop it literally was up for 5months
High uptime only kill your components when running on unhealthy temps- mostly- thats why servers are usually kept cool for a longer lifespan.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to say this. Temps can kill components over time or quickly, but uptime? Nah.
@@Yuwunahhhhow much is unhealthy temps?
Fun fact: you can click windows key. Then there is a logo similar to you power button. Click it. Then click shut down. Hope I could help.

@@SteelG_TR In regards to this video.
The part about fast startup is actually true. Rest is bullshit.
Having your PC running nonstop cannot kill your components overtime. Computers aren't mechanical engines. They degrade, yes, but not with usage. Dust and most importantly heat kills PC components. Properly cooled and regularly cleaned PC can run 24/7 no problem.
Systems get cluttered and slowed down overtime. The longer the system runs without complete shut down, the slower it gets. But it will take months before you notice anything. If you keep your OS up to date, which you absolutely should, there will be updates that require restart. At least one every month. Just don't postpone those and you'll be fine.
Don't shut down your PC with a power button like some sort of psychopat. Do it from Windows Start menu like a normal person. This was actually the most risky thing he did in the video. Yes, now days using power button usually works just fine, but the chances of something going wrong are never zero. Using the Start menu they are always zero.
Overall I would still suggest turning fast startup off. With todays fast SSDs the benefits of fast startup function are miniscule. And the disadvantages prevails.
@@JachymKvasnicka but dust build up over time? so then couldnt that possibly hurt component life or performance?
@@uncertaintytoworldpeace3650 Yes, but that's the dust. Time makes no difference here. Computer can run for months without reboot in air filtered room, then you throw a box of dust at it and things might start to break.

It does fully shut down, it is not "on".
Fast startup is a sort of hybrid hibernation scheme.
I tell people at my job (I work IT) all the time that it isn't a true "shut down" just so that people actually freaking reboot their PCs... like come on, if you have issues, just reboot and let Windows update. "Shut Down" does not count.

for ar thr people: UPTIME IS TIME WHEN OS WAS ON. your os doesnt turn itself off. it logoffs and saves the state to the drive. hence the name of the setting: fast startup. uptime doesnt mean anything with your computer being on. but it can cause some issues with apps being slow. just disable fast startup or click restart button instead. restart button was designed to bypass fast startup. have a nice day😊
Edit: it cannot kill your components (your components always die over time but super slow you cant notice)
Edit 2: your power button makes your computer sleep if it instantly turns off the lights. this is more problematic than fast startup. just use windows to turn your computer off.
Thanks😊
Imagine actually turning your pc off i just turn off my monitor
ideally you'd never wanna press anything on the pc case to turn off your pc, especially the reset button-
Yes you are partially right it's not really running however it does preserve even RAM as long as fast boot is on that's why you hear copy pasting cheat devs who manual map drivers into memory telling people to restart instead of shut down as otherwise the driver stays loaded next time you turn on the pc
System stability: Fast startup involves saving system information to a file, which can sometimes become corrupted or cause other stability issues with your computer. By disabling fast startup, you can help to ensure that your system runs smoothly and reliably. - Linkedin
Fun fact: it's actually healthier for a PC to stay on rather than shut down every day (other than the casual restarts and stuff) because when PC components heat up and cool down often you risk the bonds to crack and break causing (obviously) dead components.
Also, this only works if the PC has proper cooling and ventilation as overheating is way worse than shutting down the PC.

1. Computers aren't harmed by being on for too long. They don't need to sleep to stay healthy.
2. A computer in hibernation (which is what "Fast startup" uses) is _off._ It's not using any power beyond regular standby power usage in a "true off" state, and you can even cut power to it completely, and still have it come out of hibernation just fine.
And yes, ACPI technically allows the S4 state to consume some additional standby power beyond "true off", but no computer has ever implemented hibernation that way. S4 only differs from S5 in what's written to the disk - you can even build 2 identical computers, boot both, shut one down, hibernate the other, then swap the disks to see the one you originally shut down... come out of hibernation instead!

Holy shit bro this does NOT kill your pc components 💀
I hope it does for your PC.
And it just cached the pc data in ram so nothing happens.
Yea
it does if you consider the fact that the pc doesnt get cleaned while its running...
@@godw1ll99 when you can say me how a hdd does cache data into ram when there are 2 or more sources then i could think about this.
solution:
the hdd drive has a pre-located point thats given for data, that are lines. like a vinyl record.
the mechanism automaticaly changes the head reading position by lets say 1 nanometer (by a 1 tb hdd i have) i dont know that exactly.
when more files get accessed, the pc exactly pre-plans how the head should move and makes a sine wave to where the head moves.
the sine could be accessed in the c64, as the floppy disc head position assistaint (full name no shit) in newer versions ya cant get this feature because the sine is so fast that the screen hz dont make it
(tip: you have 500 fps screen? hmmm, your pc does still render 45 fps per second, and THE SCREEN makes a soft movement. otherwise you can see that by using a crt television at a nvidia gforce rtx 4060 Ti, then you can see the effect.)
the sine of the head will now jump quickly to these points,
and it also when it is nececary also partialy reads some system info while gliding by making the head a bit slower to catch at least 1 byte (1 byte=8 bits. so its a 4-4 saturation process by getting that)
the caching into ram is by busses simply get the data to upload it and then it will slowly corrupt. when a hdd reads something wrong, z.B. an impossible position in one of the ram or the pc components that may cause a fatal damage uses to make a bsod. in win95 the processes were held and the cpu frozen by a bsod so may the pc continue at risk.
ok im too lazy to explain this further. but in linux opensuse KDE, i own a realy old pc, with the scoll 3-50 disc 40 1991 edition you get a simple tool to run in this that can render the hdd and the ram as a bitmap image scrolling to left and right. for the local cpu and hdd and memory etc theres a big image with nombers with background numbers.
so, please explain me: the youtube servers (ironicaly running on windows 2001 server family, it seems the system still does the job) are running now a lot of time up. the memory isnt cleaned in any way, um, ...
im stuck in the first 20 % of the video paused. look at the background processes. theres a bitcoin miner. its this with the "0%", where the 0 is out of location order. i think that guy knows exactly that about compunters as apple users saying their system is great for its low price when you tell them to type android in combination with copyright in google and they see its copyleft (free to copy and free no price 4 ever) and they sudenly realize that samsung must have the double amount of speed by the price of a iphone... just my coworker realized that... that look was so funny
whatever: memory cache gets a reset on every bus every cpu tick on every numeral bus. so data is transfered ...
oh i just realized that i missunderstood that message. now im too cool to delete all of my lyrics >:)
Ok, there is quite something to unpack here.
1. System options
No, this option does not change if you system is shut down or going to sleep.
NO! there options don't damage you computer.
In worst case it uses up some of your write cycles "reducing lifespan" of your SSD(though by not much), if not setup for HDD
2. The Power button.
Sleep is the default power button action for laptops. Shut down is the default power button action for desktop PCs. (You can change that to you pref.)
So on desktop if you press(not holding) the button that's the same as if you choose shut down from the menu in your bottom left corner.
3. Uptime in task manager.
PC's have several features to reduce loading times on boot. To name two Windows options:
Fast Startup and Hibernation - are similar but serve different purposes.
Hibernation saves an image on your Hard drive and shuts down your computer, while Fast Startup saves an image of only the system kernel and loaded drivers to reduce boot time.
or in other words.
With these options ,Windows is Saving your current state (that is active in RAM) to your hard drive.
So uptime only resets, when everything/most files get reinitialized = use restart from you options menu
(that's why a 'restart' fixes more problems then 'shut down and starting again'; i.e that's why Tech support always ask first to restart the PC/ device)
I think a good analogy would be:
Imagine your playing a game and know you can't play it for the next 3 weeks.
now you can ether
- Start a new Game
- just return after 3 weeks to the game and try to remember what you have done last time.

if u have rtx 3070 rtx 4070 or rx 6700 u be fine
Tbh it is really helpful

What's faster? Drag your mouse cursor across the screen, click start menu button, click power symbol, click shutdown. Or simply press the power button?
@@chrishuhn5065doesn't that feel to abrupt ? To Brute?
@@chrishuhn5065 Umm neither???. Just hit alt+f4 and enter like a normal person. Takes like 0.1 seconds and you don't have to move your hands anywhere. Does everyone on the internet have a traumatic brain injury nowadays?
You can choose to do all these steps, or you can just hit the restart button :)
Restart also fully turns off the pc and OS and don't worry your components wont get fried from having that timer be on a high number. In theory you don't really have to restart at all but if you feel your pc is lagging or is a bit buggy a restart can often help you out in practice. :D
It is a hibernating right?
@@chizisjbest comment yet ,just turn off the switch from which pc is connected 😂
Why bother about all that when you can just turn off the hibernate option and the computer shuts down as it was supposed to be
What’s that keyboard
Or you can just hold the shift key when shutting your pc down
Comp engineer here. No difference between sleep and full power off, some would argue full power off can "technically" cause more issues. Either way its essentially the same given proper restarts every once in a while to correct normal system errors. Power surges will not effect a sleeping PC due to the surge protectors. Again... STILL RESTART YOUR PC every week or so.
no, dont think i will. thanks for announcing you are bad at your job.
bro what is wrong with your head? "oh do restart it once in a while" "WELL ACKSHULLY NO I WONT" like stfu@@FroisonControl
@@FroisonControl Last I checked, you weren't a PC engineer. Thanks for announcing that you've never restarted or shutdown a PC.
@@TaylorMinecraftGaming I only work with computers every day and have an intimate knowledge on how restarts and hibernation effects volatile data. But sure, i have never.
@@FroisonControl Nah he's totally right. There is no downside to storing the RAM data on your disc on shutdown and then reading it back on startup.
There is an easier way to fix this just don't hit power button when turning it of just shut it down from the screen it's self. For an example just press on the windows logo on you're keyboard then just click on shut down. It will just shut down and everything and when I first got my pc dad told me to never close it from the button that will start breaking it slowly

Unlikely unless you've never restarted your system for any updates or similar as that resets uptime.

@xxxod ok
you clearly don't understand how Fast Startup works... Unplugging it won't do shit.
Shutdown = Hibernation
Turn this shit off or Restart once in a while...
nah fast startup just saves RAM to disk before shutting down, it doesn't keep the computer on forever, which means that the entire PC does in fact turn off completely, but it restores the uptime clock when you turn your computer back on.
Yeah this channel is a joke
Finally someone smart
People who are smart and shut down their pc instead of using the power button

Regardless of if you use the start menu shutdown it’s not going to fully shutdown your pc… since fast startup is still enabled
No, the first comment is right. If you shutdown using the option in windows it shutsdown the pc. You can do this though too if you want.

Leaving your computer on absolutely 100% does NOT degrade components. That is a myth that was debunked a decade ago. If you had 2 completely identical computers and you left one on 24/7 and turned the other one off each night, they would both last for exactly the same length of time. 100% guaranteed.
Software needs to reboot though.
Fans says no. They have a lifetime span like every other component. For 2 or 3 years you may be right but for 10-20 years you are totally wrong
@@HISKILP the old computer that I mess with is 15 years old and it begs to differ the real thing that kills parts is defects , heat cycle count and user error like using windows 10 on a old PC
@@HISKILP putting your computer to sleep mode doesnt require fans to turn
Computer components are designed to be used. There is reason why you'd disable it, but not to save your components. Putting the computer in a hibernation state (fast startup) means that your RAM gets dumped to the hard disk, so your computer will boot off of that. The computer does actually turn off, but when it turns back on, it loads that memory dump, making your boot faster. I have it off because I like to have fresh reboots, especially when I often tinker with my computer.
It also causes other problems........Windows neglects to write changed files back to the partition when Fast Startup is enabled and a shut down occurs. So if you try to access the partition from other OS there's a risk of losing data (for example Linux will warn you that the partition has unwritten changes).
It also seems to cause problems with Intel WiFi for some reason, seems to write persistent data that then prevents it from working properly with other Windows installations and also Linux.

Stop capping in these vids man
Just for people who think this is useful, No matter if you press the power button physically, or use the digital one, turning off quick start-up saves the states that certain files are in before completely shutting off, so it can quickly load them, saving start-up time. It does not keep your computer running completely, only saving some files' states. But it can help to turn it off, it's rare, but it can cause problems, when it does happen, most of the time it causes certain files to become corrupted.

Never take any advice from youtube short. There are some genuine one but also a lot of misinformation one. It’s likely that these youtuber just read it off google without having any knowledge about the topic resulting in them spreading misinformation
Honestly the advice wouldn't do anything negative, it's just based on a severe misunderstanding of how computers operate. It's up for debate if your computer running nonstop is worse than the jolt of power to boot it back up every day, so it's whatever you want.
Personally I don't shut mine off or hibernate it. It's a machine, it doesn't need sleep.

In 2023 I used to have windows 10 and instead of clicking shut down I click the power button, I kept on doing this when I last time clicked it I started it and took 1 hour to load and then you won't see the apps and the time will freeze, I had to get it repaired for about 7 months.
32 days, 23 hours, 37 minutes. Thats some crazy uptime. U saved my pc.
It doesn't kill your pc. The windows services and components that are stored in the ram get stored to the SSD. When the system starts up The ram copies the data from the SSD instead of getting it from scratch allowing for faster startups.
Litterally just hold the power button. Instead of clicking it and it works
Same just 20 hrs less
He did not save your PC, he simply made it boot slower. All that changed. The only thing that kills hardware is turning it off and on again. Due to heat and microstress basically bending parts a tiny amount until they break. If you never turned off your PC, heat would stay roughly the same and the tiny forces applied by the voltage would be constant, ie it's unlikely for the PC to ever die. In 99% of cases when a system dies, it does so between turning it off and on again.
TL;DR: Your PC has less issue running for over a decade straight than it has being turned off and on again thousands of times, and this short does nothing to improve the longevity of your components.
Computers are designed and much more comfortable with being left on 24/7 (providing that their airflow is not blocked with debris) Switching your PC off and on like this causes more wear to the drives of your PC and other components such are capacitors being charged up and discharged. I've had my PC running non stop since 2019, not had a single component failure and my drives health are all above 97%
this is incorrect actually. there is no difference. the measure for wear and tear on devices (especially drives) is "power on hours".

Why don't you just plug out your computer from the wall socket
The amount of misinformation on TH-cam is wild, this video is wrong, and misleading all these viewers is messed up. There is research supporting the exact opposite of this... Leaving your computer on as opposed to shutting it off every time is actually less stressful on a few components.
Edit: i love how I'm not the only one calling this dude out, its good to know some people aren't morons
Those few components being mostly high voltage capacitors on things like the PSU which is why they're 'Always on'. Repeated discharge and recharge cycles can lead to bulging and eventual failure. Silicon is basically being atomised in chips these days due to their process node, they are effectively dying the moment you apply voltage little by little. Same is true for older chips but it just takes longer. There's so many safeties these days anyway because of fire regs etc that as long as you're buying proper components that are engineered and you've cooled everything correctly (Not just the chips) then the life expectancy is overall longer than it's ever been with less waste heat. It shouldn't matter if you leave it on or off. Just make sure you restart that OS for security and that's literally it
Would the window shutdown option suffice? Or do i need to do something more? I don't know much about computers
How are people morons by not knowing that?
@@nuggetschannelcz I don't think they're morons, but I'd imagine a common trait of morons is to accept something they hear from a random source on the internet as fact without doing any further research or critical thinking, even if said source is one that is claiming to be an expert on the subject.
TBH, we probably shouldn't be accepting either point of view as facts in our worldview without further research. The fact that so many commentators are calling this guy out suggests that he's probably wrong, so I'm definitely leaning that way, but I think it's probably smart to find more experts weighing in on this first or even looking for studies before stating it as fact one way or the other.
Still please shut down your computer and conserve energy thank you.

yeah 💀
Laziness has been ignored in the chat.
I always turn off my PC by shutting it down and then removing the plug and yet my uptime is four days. That means that no component was receiving power and I don't see how it could kill my components. I don't understand how my CPU could be running without running 💀
@@4MB1T1OUS because, computers a small battery on them called cpu battery. They reverse power when your pc's been plugged in.
And for the fast boot-up function you saw on the video, the cpu use that reserve power to do the boot-up thing.
And that's why he said, you should turn the function so that, you pc will fully shut down .
personally i suggest against turning off the psu switch, as your psu starting up can cause wear on the psu and lower the lifespan on it. if the problem lies with the disco lights in your room whole you try to sleep, there are solutions to it in the bios.
I just unplug it from the wall so I don’t trip on the cord
or alternatively use the shut down functionality when you press windows, it's a pretty unknown feature
If fast boot is enabled, it still doesn't fully shut the system down, IE cut all power to all components.
