Windows 10: Can you help figure out why my laptop keeps shutting down? Running Windows 10

I've had an issue with my laptop for a few weeks now where my laptop will shut down unexpectedly when off battery power. As I use my laptop for university, this is a very inconvenient occurrence. On recommendations from HP I have updated the BIOS on my laptop, performed a diagnostic test which said my battery was in working order. Have sent my laptop in for a healthcheck which recommended I update my OS to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1, which I have done.

I have checked the Event Viewer for the last unexpected shut down which displayed the message "The Windows Management Instrumentation service has detected an inconsistent shut down":

Laptop running Windows 10 keeps freezing

Hi,

Since you already tried several troubleshooting steps, such us running a hardware diagnostic test on all hardware components, checked the system files, updated all drivers, and as well the BIOS, then this is perhaps an issue with the laptop itself. Now,
to isolate what is causing performance issues on your laptop, we suggest that you perform a factory reset, then check if it's the same. To perform the suggest step, please refer to this article:

Recovery options in Windows 10.

If the issue persists after performing the suggested step, contact the laptop manufacturer to have it replaced.

Let us know the outcome.

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you to fix the issue.

To assist you better, please provide us more information.

• 
  What is the make and model of the computer?
  
• 
  Which anti-virus program are you using?
  
• Which Windows 10 version are you using?

For now, I suggest you to shut down the computer using command and check if you are able to shut down.

  Command prompt (Admin).

  Type shutdown /s and press Enter.
  

Let’s try simple troubleshooting steps and check if this helps in resolving the issue. Follow the below methods.

Method 1

I recommend you to uninstall/reinstall the display adapter driver and check. Follow the below steps:

  Press Windows key + X and click on
  Device manager.

  Locate for display adapter and click on it to expand.

If this doesn’t help to fix the issue. I suggest you to update the display adapter driver. Skip step3 from the above steps and right click on the
device and click on update.

Method 2.

If the above method did not help to fix the issue, I would suggest you to
go to the computer manufacturer website and download the latest display adapter driver. If the display driver is not available for Windows 10, try installing the available driver in compatibility mode and check.

• 
  Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select Properties.
  
• 
  Select Compatibility tab.
  
• 
  Check Run this program in Compatibility mode.
