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).

Restarting Windows is actually “cleaner” than shutting down on modern PCs because shutdown saves some kernel state for Windows Fast Startup.

I doubt random bitflips are the source of most NT invariant violations. A reboot does fix them all the same though.
