You’re a node if you’re running Bitcoin Core, no matter if its synchronized or not. You can turn off your computer after shutting down Bitcoin Core properly and you won’t have to synchronize again. If you’re not running Bitcoin Core all the time, then it would synchronize to the latest block whenever you turn it on again.

It doesnt turn on automatically upon start up. For it to be functioning as a node, you’d have to keep it running.

Thank you very much
