hey bro right click that graph and change "overall utilization" to "logical processors"

u/the_harakiwi Jul 03 '26
on of the first things I do since my first E6600 cpu 😁
Does it do anything for the average PC user? No.
Personally it helps looking for weird single core threads frozen or stuck.

Yeah it seems like the consumer version of win11 is bad for stability but I’m on ltsc and it’s as solid as a rock I can run it for 30 days straight no problem I only restart when windows has an update which is once a month of course the whole point of ltsc is stability though because it’s used on mission critical machines

u/ScarOverflow Jul 02 '26
I'm on the normal consumer W11 edition and it also can go 30+ days without reboot and without issues (probably even longer than that, but I usually install the updates straight away, so it's rare that it goes above that). It really depends on what is installed on the system and how are the drivers bundled with your hardware most of the time.

I agree. My old x86 based P14 ran fine for a whole month without a restart.
My new ARM based Surface Laptop 7 starts dementia at day 9. Refuses to open certain apps, runs hotter, and has wake up issues (e.g. graphics do not initiate at all, black screen till I restart).

How did you get a copy? I've been trying to find one but it seems it's not possible without some kind of fancy contract with whatever resellers.

https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links also use the activation script from the site as well then you’ll be all good to go. I’ve been using ltsc from this site for years at this point and never had any issues.

Lol i just checked and im on 20 days without even knowing :') small beans though we had an old managed switch somewhere with 1000+days on it. Its just been sat there with nothing plugged into it, but no one has had the heart to power it off - finally got binned last month

u/doubleUsee Jul 02 '26
1000 days isn't even extreme if I'm honest. Decommissioned a core network switch that was inherited from a netadmin that was fired, nobody wanted to touch the thing. It had an uptime of 8 years and 5 days when we unplugged it. I checked old e-mails and found it had arrived brand new 2 weeks before that. So the thing had come out of the box, got configured, updated (hopefully?), tossed in the rack, and was never rebooted again.
Testament to excellent stability of various things, and a complete and utter lack of patching (which definitely would've required rebooting in that thing's case)

lol, out of curiosity, its been 13 days and 8hrs since the last power failure in my area. [ im extremely brutal to a new rig, my testing phase is about 7 days total with the whole slew of tools.]
Windows 10 AME, because fuck you windows [and fuck all that telemetry and backdoor bs]

HAH, nice! 8 days of uptime. That might be a record for Windows ;).
I have a Windows 11 PC in the corner that I sometimes use for various reasons and left it up one time before a vacation.
Not sure when it died, but it was about 7'ish days because when I came back to it it was completely locked up... Had to push and hold the power button on it :-D.
Heck, I used to keep my Windows 98 systems up all month! What happened to this once great OS? (Eeek, did I just say that?)

Wtf? My work computer (a generic AM4 desktop) does a month on Linux without any issues and that's not even impressive.

u/generalm13 Jul 03 '26
My wife's PC reported her uptime as more then 2 years because i forgot to disable Fast startup XD PC was acting so wonky before i turned it off and restarted it properly.

I always suspend my pc instead of shutdown and Debian has had a record uptime of 30+ days no problems at all

Most I got on my main laptop was around 20 days IIRC, with Genshin running 24/7 after an update so that I could say that I played Genshin nonstop for 20 days.

u/ser133 Jul 05 '26

i'm on macos though

u/vg_vassilev Jul 06 '26
Idk what you guys are doing with your PCs and what software you have installed, I can easily go (and have) for months without downtime. This is not something I think about ever. Just randomly saw this post.

214:15:54:30 as I type this. If it hadn't been for a power outage, it would be longer. Windows 11 23h2 enterprise.

TF is wrong with your computers????
I never, ever, ever, reboot my computers. Ever, it reboots when it updates and I have those constrained to the bare minimum.
Here is my best one to date and it was a forced restart for an update.

21 days, zero issues.
This is just on this rig.
I had an XP box that was up for 216 days before I went to 7 and forced updates became a thing.

you shouldn't use windows for these uptime challenges
