I’m not sure if you’re joking or being serious. Long uptimes are not an issue anymore on Windows.

The most impressive is a windows machine with 13 days of uptime

Except occasionally when you factor in the automatic forced updates and resulting required reboots.
rambaroo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You can turn those off with the pro version.

Lol… I’ve worked in IT for over 25 years… I’m aware.
drekly@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I haven’t had that since like xp or vista days. Just told it to do it when I ask and it always does.

tbf I regularly have an uptime of 14+ days on my gaming rig.

Amateur. My dev laptop restarts about 1.5 times per Windows update, my gaming desktop restarts a couple times a year
It makes you more in touch with the universe. With runtimes lasting months, you get to see how cosmic rays cause new and unexpected “features”. I’ve started to look up solar weather when things start to act extra weird, and it actually lines up

Quite normal for a laptop, since it can use Windows Modern Standby (if it works)

I recently took down a Windows server for a reboot at 1300 days uptime
jcg@halubilo.social 10 months ago
It hadn’t been updated in 3.5 years? And the UPS (I’m assuming it had one) battery lasted that long too?

It hadn’t been updated in 3.5 years?
Remarkably common for more Exchange or AD servers then you’d be comfortable knowing about

I'm at 15 on my Minecraft server now, but I'm pretty sure the last restart was intentional also

I once saw a computer at my workplace with over a year of uptime…

I have 3 windows machines in my house that are over 50 days running right now
InvaderDJ@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s also an unimportant stat considering that any modern, well configured Windows machine should have reboot times of under a minute.

Thing is there are so few things to count against Windows compared to MacOS or Linux, they need to make the most minor of inconveniences seem astronomical by comparison. “Haha you have to install a security update you can delay for 5 weeks that takes 4 seconds to install”

Windows updates are particularly under-tested
batmaniam@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s the “you can delay” bit. It’s MY machine. If I don’t want the update so be it. I get the windows os is a liscence not a purchase, so they have every right. That doesn’t mean I have to like it, and I’m happy there are alternatives. That permeates through the whole OS. If theres software I don’t want, just because I don’t like the name, I can remove it.
That might not matter to you, but it matters to a lot of people. Enough, in fact, to build an maintain multiple operating systems, as it turns out.
InvaderDJ@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Nowadays especially so. It’s like Android vs iOS. Both OSes are good and now so are Windows, Linux and macOS. Use whatever you prefer, just know how to use it so you don’t blow up non-issues.
