Hi,that does help a lot. I'm sorry if the question is basic, but did you HAVE to switch your laptop on or if you would have left it off would it have made a difference?
I'm sorry if it's a "Noob" question.
don't apologize! we were all new to XC at one point, glad i could help and welcome to the community my friend.
you can just switch your computer off and just on it occasionally and open your wallet and unlock. for me i switch it on every 2-3 days and such.
