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

    Hi Sir Kal,

    Windows Update was set to notify me when updates are there. Setting the active hours unfortunately doesn't help much, as I cannot set it to "24 hours". I don't want to disable an automatic reboot for updates just for a specific time, I want to disable automatic reboots for updates period. I don't mind updates, but I want to decide when Windows installs and updates and reboots, that is all. It is my computer, I do not want Windows to decide by itself it can reboot, no matter what time consuming tasks that are running overnight get interrupted and thrown out.

    Whats up with all the people like this that seem to just provide some copy paste answer vaguely related to the topic? To a human reading this it is clear that this person has not really read the question but just posts some generic answer to the headline. Bot?

    Exact same thing here. The PC I purchased came with ver 11 and it has done this since I purchased it.

    All these comments and still NO update or resolution from Microsoft.

    We have limited it to if you open 3 or more applications as same time it will trigger the restart with the stupid power issues.

    I went into Best Buy last week they will not even offer anything but Ver11 on a pc anymore.

    I performed the above listed steps but my computer still restarts every night. It's a brand new computer, i shouldn't have to run thru the methods listed in your link "makeuseof."

    I have also set the computer to never sleep in control panel.

    Please advise what other steps i can take short of reprogramming a brand new computer.

    Thanks

    That's not a solution. Why would I want to stop updates?
