High CPU Uptime in Task Manager

I've noticed that I've gotten an absurdly high CPU uptime of 7 days despite shutting down my computer over the past week. I'm wondering what's the cause of this, and if it impacts performance?

Windows 10 does not "shut down" in the traditional sense, it hibernates the kernel so the uptime only ever resets if the kernel is updated, such as big OS updates.  This was done to speed up booting from HDD.

Personally I disable quick boot so I get a proper uptime and a clean system every boot, personal preference rather than any known issue.  Also from SSD, I find it tends to do a full boot quicker than a quick boot.

But in general no, it shouldn't impact performance unless the OS has somehow glitched in some way.
