I was curious and ;
200 days
the current world record is 200 days uptime of a pc running windows 7. 200 days * Challenge It! Jeremy's computer had a Windows 7 uptime of 200 days, one hour, 16 minutes, 48.00 seconds.

Is it correct? I do not know. I'm a liar of this site

Is there a record for computer uptime? - Quora

Not too far from the truth: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/erel-pc.124779/post-779180
Oh, you're just begging for it to crash and corrupt hours of work
You mean, corrupt 86 days of work. ?
Since the boot of my ancient laptop (Win7, 11 years old) is very slow and my password very complicated, I turn it off every N months, setting it just in standby (without even touching any keys, simply folding the screen over the keyboard ).
I assume my record is around 4 months (or more?).

Both are installed
Since you are not a junior developer then it should be fine.Both are installed
Keep it running , break 200 days
No proof (I did not take pictures back then), but once upon a time I had Linux boxes and NetWare boxes that ran for over a year. Of course, for Linux, back then releases were spaced far apart (Debian) and NetWare (version 4) had hot-patching of server fixes and hot loading of NLM's which allowed for such long run-times. Back then, as @Erel points out above, power outages were the main pitfalls (and in server cases UPS failures). Actually, for NetWare the pitfall(s) were backup software (a necessary evil).
I am reminded of a story. We used to install Novel servers for our customers - our software ran BTrieve then, They were so reliable customers would remove the monitors and use them elsewhere after the server was set up.
One day I got a call from a customer in a panic. They had had a power outage and their server wouldn't come up. It had been up for so long they had replaced all of their computer monitors with color monitors and graphics cards and thrown out all the monochrome. The server required monochrome so I had to go into my storage and dig out a monochrome monitor and take it to the customer so we could get to the BIOS and see what was wrong.
I know, I am REALLY showing my age.
The problem? The motherboard battery was so old it had died and the computer lost it's BIOS settings. New battery and it was good to go.

Reminds me of my uni days. Back in the day, I never used to shut my pc down. It was 2004 and I had a standard desktop pc running Windows XP. I finally had to reboot it after more than three months. I even went on holidays during uni break and left it running.
Don't ask me why I used to let it run 24x7..

I am really skittish about letting computers run overnight unless they were designed to, like servers.
when I was much younger, one day I walked out of the room and the power supply had let loose. it shot sparks up from the fan vent (power supply was on bottom), and the ribbons, ATX wires, etc were laying on the power supply. it caught the wires, and the tower had JUST started to catch on fire. Luckily I heard the POW and ran over there to figure out what happened, and saw smoke.
At that point I had to rush the PC out of there and throw it in the utility sink (living in the basement at the time) and douse it with water.
Fun times. Ever since then, If I am not home or go to bed, the PC gets turned off...
granted thats the only time I have ever seen that happen as far as catching the PC on fire. ive seen many power supply blowouts, but usually the sparks are contained and dont drop hot metal on the wires. But this was around 2002 or so.
