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.
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

2023-09-17T15:46:05+00:00 I have a new Dell XPS and my system also reboots almost evert night. This is really annoying and looking at the responses it seems this is a common problem.
Microsoft please wake up and address this!

2023-09-08T11:38:04+00:00 On my PC I did pause updates, I even disabled the automatic update service. But when I woke up this morning, pc had restarted.
I want to run it 24/7 without automatic restarts, because it's kind of a server and some data can be corrupted if it restarts without closing programs that are writing data on disc drive. (I understand that win11 pro not the best OS for the server, but I have some apps that only work on windows).
So just pausing updates (and disabling them in services.msc) doesn't help to stop it to restart automaticaly.

2023-07-14T14:50:53+00:00 I have tried the uncheck automatically restart but the rebooting still happens.
This was a brand new ASUS PC (Been doing this for 6 months now). Ready to throw this thing across the room
I have narrowed it down to if I have many open apps/programs it will trigger the reboot (if I just have a few open apps/programs it will not reboot)
