Windows 10 experienced a 49-day uptime period unexpectedly.
Hello, your Dell laptop running Windows 10 shows a 49-day uptime record. You mentioned turning it off each day and not understanding why fans and the hard drive stopped working. The power button setting was adjusted to shut down, but you're puzzled about how this could happen.
You seem to be switching between different power settings based on your connection status, and the power button behavior might be inconsistent. It looks like your system could be entering a low-power mode even when you think it's off.
I believe uptime is measured only after a complete reboot. The shutdown choice in Windows 10 will log out the user (though it still preserves their open applications, a recent improvement), but the system enters hibernation instead of a full shutdown, because there’s no significant difference and it’s quicker.
Remove the battery during operation, which will immediately stop it
