I'm reminded of the Windows 95 uptime bug https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28340101 that nobody found for years because you simply couldn't keep a Windows system up that long. Something would just crash on you and bluescreen the whole thing, or you needed to touch a mandatory-reboot setting or install some software.

running FF on a windows 11 flagship HPE OMEN gaming laptop right now and this bitch crashes at LEAST once a day.
I get forced restarts on Windows 10 due to .net updates only. These tend to ensure applications that ran on previous CLR cannot run until the shutdown thing does the job of rebuilding everything, and it's not done online.
