I think most people will need to restart their computer after installing Windows Update, Antivirus upgrades, and other software installs.
Using Shutdown too often may not slowdown Windows much because users would eventually need to restart their PC to install a Windows or software update.

I have always believed that shutting down is better. Now, I know better and will put it into practice.
Interesting! Restarting does better than shutting down and cold booting? Wonder why that is!
I just rely on updates when it gets restarts and that's actually pretty common.
I guess you can disable that fast startup.
It can also prevent you from accessing your BIOS/UEFI, though that doesn't affect the average person.
True, but that can be an issue in the long run.
Shutting down is the ideal option.
Everything needs rest now and then :/ It's better to, not let the system get overheated.

This is something I never knew and I honestly believe that it was the case that shutting down the PC was better than restarting.
Just goes to show how much we are either told or think is right usually isn't and then you have to get into the habit of doing what is better.

Tbh, some things used to be true, but is no longer relevant due to updates.
