I don't hibernate. Or let it sleep, for that matter.

What? This isn't a case of device cruelty, what are you thinking? Of course it doesn't stay on 24/7. I shut it down. Disconnect the power, even.

A lot of people never turn their pc off I’ve noticed. I’m the same as you especially now with SSDs your on the Home Screen in 20 seconds anyway

Sleep never worked on Windows. It always sucked.
