Why would you do it any other way? Of course I do restart for updates, but that is pretty much it.
How long does it to take to start up your computer. Mine starts up in 20 seconds and shuts down in 5 secs. Yes, when I resart the computer for updates it takes longer for some reason. I think when I start the computer back up I am going to put it to sleep and once 1-2 weeks shut it down for one night. So when I turn it on again the clean up manger does it stuff. I won't do that if there is an update that requires the computer to restart, so the clean up manager does it stuff.
