And another one...... Close your programs, turn off the monitor, and walk away. Nothing is running.

Memory leak? It's 2019, now Windows 95.

Just so I know you know, and I DO know, explain to me what YOU think a memory leak is. I don't think you do, and you have it on your list of buzz words with defrag and update drivers.

As far as energy, seriously? You don't have enough money that you worry about an extra 878 cents of electricity over a month that you'd rather be starting your computer every day? (Which, FYI takes more power than letting it run?) Your computer has fans to prevent overheating, and those little fans are all that draws power when you are not actively using your computer and drawing on the CPU to process data. I won't even get into the idiocy of screen savers now that we have LCD and LED monitors. Just turn the monitor power off and walk away. I have been leaving my computers on since I had computers. Never seen a drastic spike in my electric bill, and never had a heat issue. Certainly not a "memory leak" issue.
