Improper shut down of a computer can cause serious damage to the operating system and to data files. During a proper shut down, the computer goes through a series of tasks in a specific order. When the operating system and other programs are shut down improperly the computer may malfunction when turned back on because files may have become corrupt.

Can shutting down your computer every day harm it?

It depends on whether you are shutting down via menu or manually. If you are doing through the menu (i.e. Start > Shutdown) then no harm will be done. If you are actually holding down the power button to switch it off, then no harm should be done, unless you switch it off during an important process, which can lead to file corruption. Essentially, if one switches off a computer through menus, one is giving the computer the option to shut all ongoing programs, and then shutdown. Conversely, if one pushes and holds the power button, then one is demanding an instant shutdown, which may or may not lead to file damage.
