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

    In my case, it just keeps rebooting and in "Security and maintenance" I can see the right after my PC, WHILE RENDERING MY 3D PROJECT WAS INSTALLED SOME SHI "Installation Successful: Windows successfully installed the following update: Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus - KB2267602 (Version 1.407.391.0) - Current Channel (Broad)"

    It has happened almost every day for the last month, I tried to fix this problem so many times.

    Maybe I should just downgrade till windows 10(((((

    Hello there,

    First of all I feel your pain; tasks running overnight are an essential tool and to have that quiet space invaded is nothing short of criminal. A machine rebooting mid-meeting or mid-presentation is equally ridiculous and how that came to be approved and implemented we shall never know.

    Hopefully the resolution should lie in the Windows Update > Advanced Options space.

    On my Windows version I see:

    This should be On as it is now, but it can mysteriously change itself to Off for some reason.

    Worth checking the Active Hours settings - change these from Automatically to Manually, then define a large part of your day to being off limits:

    Double-check anything to do with updating and rebooting.

    Then, I'm afraid, it's a bit of a wait and see if that cures the issue.

    Unchecked automatically restart from under system failure but still my Dell laptop (Windows 11) is automatically turning on by itself, even after shutting it down. Sometimes it automatically switches on at night or middle of the day or even if the laptop is shut down for 2-3 days.
