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

    I've done everything you wrote, and on the second night the pc restarted..

    Maybe im missing something? Anything else besides what you wrote here? I haven't done anything written in the other post or in the links you provided

    all I did was:

    Edit Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Windows Update->Manage end user experience->Configure Automatic Updates

    1. Set it to Enabled and 3 - Auto download and notify for install
    2. Edit Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Windows Update->Legacy Policies->No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations
    3. Set it to Enabled
      Should I also do what Henning Idsøe wrote, or anything else?

    Just to report back. It's been 3 months since I posted my instructions and it's still working for me. It does not restart on me automatically.

    这个问题直接影响到了我更换win11,现在我准备换回win10了。难道大家的工作不重要吗?到时间了你直接给黑屏关机更新了,连个延迟更新选项都没有,让大家在组策略,注册表里面天天一顿乱改,改完了还是只能延迟一次,一点用户体验都没了。而且Hania回答的也驴头不对马嘴,用户问的是更新后重启,Hania回答的是在系统失败后重启,完全没有作用。太水了

    Use group policy editor to configure automatic updates and disable the automatic reboot

    Open run prompt:

    windows + r

    Open:

    gpedit.msc

    Access: (text labels may vary slightly as I am translating from a Norwegian windows installation)

    Computer configuration -> Administrative templates -> Windows components -> Windows update -> Administrate enduserexperience

    Right click on "Configure automatic updates" and select "edit".

    Select "activate", Select "2 - Notify for download and automatic install". Click "ok".

    Done.

    First thing I ever do on a new install.

    If you have Home edition you propably have to install Group policy editor first:

    Press windows-button.

    Type " cmd" and select run as administrator.

    Copy and paste the following lines into the command prompt that opens.

    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" )

    To update:

    Press windows-key and enter "windows update", Select "look for updates" and click "look for updates/install updates".

    Note:

    If you let windows do an update, chances are it may reboot.

    Don't update unless you intend to reboot,

    Can anyone confirm if this still works?

    Check everything which causes a reboot - system failure automatic reboot, system update automatic install and reboot, etc.

    This should be easier to manage if you are using a personal computer, as opposed to a work machine, since you are the administrator of the machine and not constrained or affected by any group policy settings.

    However, if none of those options fix the issue, it may be a new feature from Microsoft, most likely 'security related, implemented for your protection'.
