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

    Your computer may be rebooting post update. If you have a task that needs to run uninterrupted longer than 24 hours then you can pause updates (if this is what is causing the reboots.)

    Settings -> Windows Update -> Pause Updates

    To be honest,

    Microsoft should pay for our lost calculation times. The energy and time in Engineering cost counted. It is outrageous that programmers trap our society and steal our time and thoughts. WINDOWS SHOULD START IF THE USER WANT. We had paid for this system, can you imagine a car which is going home automatically when it is needed during driving on the highway. Ohh sorry, yes this time is coming. Programmers make buttons and checkboxes and don't ever **** change back the switched off no sound setting, it was set to be off on purpose. So Microsoft you owe me 5kEUR due to my interrupted calculation.

    Thanks

    1- Someone with VPN connections connected to a system can lose his telnet session because of this.

    2- Also, I was running a program in debug mode in Visual Studio which was closed by the update. This can cause a loss of data or file corruption because I might not have made a save operation before the update too place.

    I don't know why Microsoft wouldn't set it to confirm the acquiescence of the user before rebooting by default in the settings. If people leave their computers on they often have something in progress for the next day and rebooting it automatically is generally not a convenient time unless the user can properly log out of sites and close certain apps after saving.

    A third point of annoyance at this reboot without asking policy by default is that I turn off my screen if I leave my computer on to use it the next day so it won't burn out. It would be courteous of Microsoft to leave it in the same state otherwise my screen will burn out far faster than it otherwise would. Some users might be waken up in the middle of the night by the bright light of the screen coming on it's very inconsiderate of them.
