Windows 11 reboots itself - Annoying!

I have FOUND the FIX. After trying 10 over suggestions and none of them work, this one suggestion hidden among many suggestions finally works. It is simple and the rationale makes a lot of sense.

The FIX

• got to settings > systems > power
• under Power mode change this to Balanced

And you can now enjoy leaving your computer idle.

Rationale

This problem only affects destktops because laptops/notebooks have a battery to buffer sudden demand of power. And this happens when Win11 tries to put you into sleep mode.

Of couse, another approach is to set sleep to Never. I did both ;-)

For those who are suffering from this issue, please reply to confirm if it works for you. And please state if you are using a desktop or laptop. I would like to confirm if my observations are correct.

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

This is nonsense - I don't want to pause updates, I want to disable automatic restart - permenantly. The user should be able to turn off this ridiculous automatic restart 'feature'. It has caused me to loose work many times because the computer decides to restart itself after an update (despite the fact that it is in hibernation or sleep). There is no UI way of turning this behaviour off which frankly amounts to a serious software defect, The fact of the matter is that Microsoft have no interest in fixing things for their customers - they, like pretty much every other software company out there are emulating Apple's attitude towards their customers - i.e. giving their customers what the company wants to give rather than what the customer actually wants.

I completely agree. It is incredibly foolish, as my work is frequently disrupted when Windows decides it wants to reboot the computer. This kind of behavior is totally unacceptable. So I have spent a lot of money on an OS that randomly restarts. How wonderful.

Please, return agency to user (the guy that pays for the product, you know ?) at once !

My laptop turns on automatically AFTER it has been turned off. The laptop continues to reboot itself multiple times (I can hear it connecting & disconnecting as my bluetooth speaker announces every time my laptop switches on & off by itself). Ultimately the battery drains out. I am yet to find a fix for this, :( :(
