Windows 11 reboots itself - Annoying!

Hi All,

I have windows 11 installed on "HP ZBook Studio 15.6 inch G8 Mobile Workstation PC".

Windows ver: 21H2 (OS Build 22000.1098)

It reboots itself during the night every day more than once though I only lock the computer. Before I used to hibernate/lock the computer to start where I left off my open programs. There are days when I reboot every 2 or 3 weeks because I never needed to reboot but now it does it every night.

It started doing this after the recent update.

Note: The power settings were working fine as it is still the same. But it reboots for no reason.

Regards,

B

    My laptop turns on automatically AFTER it has been turned off. The laptop continues to reboot itself multiple times (I can hear it connecting & disconnecting as my bluetooth speaker announces every time my laptop switches on & off by itself). Ultimately the battery drains out. I am yet to find a fix for this, :( :(

    I have FOUND the FIX. After trying 10 over suggestions and none of them work, this one suggestion hidden among many suggestions finally works. It is simple and the rationale makes a lot of sense.

    The FIX

    • got to settings > systems > power
    • under Power mode change this to Balanced

    And you can now enjoy leaving your computer idle.

    Rationale

    This problem only affects destktops because laptops/notebooks have a battery to buffer sudden demand of power. And this happens when Win11 tries to put you into sleep mode.

    Of couse, another approach is to set sleep to Never. I did both ;-)

    For those who are suffering from this issue, please reply to confirm if it works for you. And please state if you are using a desktop or laptop. I would like to confirm if my observations are correct.

    For those missing gpedit.msc I followed these steps which worked for me on Windows 11 Home: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-enable-the-gpeditmsc-on-windows-10-and-11/dbc76919-f2b5-4dec-a2b7-bcf545c34d00

    *****

    To install the Local Group Policy Editor in Windows 10 Home edition, open a command prompt as administrator and run two one-line commands in sequence:

    FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~*.mum") DO (DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F")FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~*.mum") DO (DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F")

    That doesn't sound like an update issue--updates don't occur anywhere near that often. Check the Windows System Event log for warnings/errors as this sounds like a crash issue. Also, disable auto-restart after crashes. It's the very first reply on this question.

    Same thing is happening but in windows 10 ltsc 2021, but not exactly the same. It shuts down any time it wants, sometimes just as as the desktop loads, or sometimes while browsing, or while installing or using heavy programs like fusion 360, Photoshop etc.
