Windows 10: When should I keep my computer on, and when should I turn it off?

Hello,

I would like to know when should I keep my computer on, if I should put it in sleep, or turn it off. I always turn of my PC when I am not using it, and I want to know if that is correct. I do not want to damage anything, so I am looking for help. I have read that keeping it on sleep all the time is bad for it, so I want a good answer. Also, is turning a PC off and on in a row multiple times bad for it?


Thanks.

:)

 

Computer Randomly Turns on From Sleep

I only saw this thread now, otherwise I would have suggested this sooner.
I had that same problem you are having, my computer was waking-up from S3 and the culprit was my X7 mouse.
powercfg -lastwake also listed the HID keyboard device which was an extension of the mouse.
Besides going in device manager and setting everything to not being able to wake-up the computer from S3, I also did this to the power profiles:



Worked for me.

I suggest you to go to the follow the below step and check if you’re able to toggle the Airplane mode:
