Not to ask too stupid a question, but I notice problems

Thanks. I have sound now.
I often have rather a lot of files open.
I won't do a killall gvim until I've ascertained that none need
saving.
I won't do the reboot until important external media have been
removed.
When I'm already having trouble, I prefer not to rely too
much on how things are supposed to handle their death throes.
BTW I'd thought reinstalling was the Windows cure-all.
Rebooting, not reinstalling.
It is worse than you think. One of the unethical things
M$ does is called Fast Boot (Fast Startup). Basically
when you think you have shutdown, you have only exited
your programs and suspended. So when you, haha, power
back up, "Look see how fast it boots!" and you get
back all of the sins of the past.
Windows goes a bit nuts after running for three days
or so, so your nightly shutdown keeps you clean,
unless you have Fast Boot in effect, which M$ does
by default.
And to make matters work, you have to throw a
shutdown /r /f /t 00
after turning the bugger off or the setting change
does not take.
I have fixed tons of Windows machines this way.
Sometimes I have had the pull the power plug first
as nothing would respond.
You guys do not know the drama you are missing by
running Fedora!
