Do you Shutdown, Sleep, or Hibernate your Computer?

[rigor]

Desktop: Leave it on most of the day and shutdown before going to sleep.
Laptop: Sleep most of the time.

If im not sitting at it or listening to music on it, it gets shut down.

Shut down every time. It saves energy, and I think it is better for the PC itself... Or am I wrong?

 

[Evandro]

Shut down every time. Shut down allways...

I only shutdown my laptop on weekdays. On weekend my laptop turned on 24/7 for 2 days.

often, i don't shutdown my PC just use hibernate. whenever i haven't any active task running i shutdown my pc after job is done. I think shutdown make more efficient performance of pc.

Well - Windows 8 and later with fast startup for me (technically hibernate I suppose...) - used to shutdown.

Shut down every time.

 

[Ink]

Shut down every time.

Likewise with Fast Startup disabled, on Windows 10.

Mainly because mine is a laptop, I typically just let my laptop sleep if I don't use it for a few minutes or hours. But when I go to sleep at night, I shut the laptop down.

I hope that you don't have an SSD.
If you have prefer to put to sleep than hibernate.

I normally set my mac to sleep (I think 90% of times!)

Desktops (mine & wife's) are always on; has been for about 25+ years. (No, not the same desktop.)
Laptop usually gets shut down; it's fast, so I don't know that there's any difference between hibernate and off (other than bad juju with hibernate/sleep modes).
Surface (hers) is always on...it's a mobile device.

Shutdown for me. Never had use for hibernate.

I shut mine down every night but I have it automatically boot up within the bios at 5:30 am because it gives a chance to do all the downloads before everyone wakes up and I head off to Uni.

Thanks for that idea!
I have no idea that can be done.
I'll maybe try that in the future.

For mine and other family PC - always hibernate. The same for my office PC.

Mostly shutdown, but when I am going out somewhere for around an hour or two I use sleep.
