Same here. But I hibernate it, which defeats the purpose.

Even with the increase in bloat on windows once I moved to an SSD the boot time went down to like 20 seconds. Never felt the need to do anything other than shut down if I was going to be away for more than a few minutes.

Windows doesn't shut down by default.

Same plus I dual boot.

It's less than 20 seconds to a usable desktop even on windows, some optimizations aren't worth the hassle.

I'm astonished I had to wade through so many other replies to find this one. I had never considered I might be doing things abnormally when I turned my machine off at the end of the day.

If nothing else, think of the power usage!
