why computers need to be restarted periodically to function correctly

I work at a major tech company and most times I go to IT, they tell us to restart our computer. Why is this a necessary process to maintain a normal operating experience?

Many replies here will tell you the same thing: memory leak and updates.

The real reason you are specifically asked to RESTART and not just “shut down and power on again” is because you are probably using Windows, and a feature of Windows that’s intended to make the computer switch on faster, means it doesn’t usually fully shut down. Restarting ensures a proper reboot.
