I wonder if performing a system scan or file check has ever actually fixed any errors. Rebooting on the other hand, fixes basically any transient problem I encounter, even on non-Windows machines (a friend who has a Mac doesn't always believe me when I tell them to reboot to fix random unusual slowness/hangs, but they have only 8GB of memory and it has always worked so far!)

I will say though, non-Windows machines rarely need a reboot while Windows often should practically be rebooted daily.

Since nearly every consumer machine uses non-ECC RAM it's probably best to just do a full shutdown at night and boot up the next day.

It reminds me of "bitsquatting" where you can get a lot of hits for domains 1 bit off really popular domains (separate from likely typos).
