    Based on the event logs that you sent, the issue could be brought about by the act of forcefully shutting down your computer or the computer is locked or configured with a password-protected screensaver. To address the issue, please check out this article and refer to the information under Resolution which talks about Hotfix information.

    Let us know if you need any other help.

    Regards.

    The article you reference has this header:

    This article applies to Windows 2000. Support for Windows 2000 ends on July 13, 2010. TheWindows 2000 End-of-Support Solution Center is a starting point for planning your migration strategy from Windows 2000. For more information see the Microsoft Support Lifecycle Policy.

    I am using Windows 10 and these problems have only occurred since Build 1709. I am sure that the shutdowns are normal, either sign out or shutdown.

    I checked and I have "None" for screen saver, therefore there is no option for password.

    Thanks for your continuing help - This problem IS NOT Hardware, I can say this because I have carried out all your suggestions (and more actually) AND when I followed earlier instruction to re-install Windows 10 1709 WITHOUT KB4056892 update my System ran WITHOUT ISSUE for over one full week!  Once I re-installed KB4056892 back came my problems of no pattern, crash-reboots..........it is the update that is causing my issues.  Please help further?

    Can you also confirm this is the correct place for my Postings as I am confused if your replies are to me or someone else's issues/Postings  (Senior Tom?)....please let me know how I can define your replies to me?

    Please continue with your help - My System is useless and driving me nuts with these frequent crash-reboots?!
