How often should the computer be shut down?

In: Computers, Computer Hardware, Windows [Edit categories]

Answer:

Actually never, but if the unit is connected to a internet network(not home network) it should be rebooted approx. the number of days that it's switch or router needs updates (30- 60 days).

Electronic devices deteroriate faster from surge inputs and rapid output levels, then from constant level inputs.
Mechanical parts are proven for continuous use until their MTBF mean time before failure approaches.
