Windows 10: Come home to find my computer had rebooted itself.

So, I come home and find my computer had rebooted itself. So I skimmed though the System Event Viewer and found what I think is the problem. But it's in cryptic M$ code of course... Oh and this is Windows 10 Ver 20H2 (OS Build 19042.928) Log Name: SystemSource: Microsoft-Windows-WHEA-LoggerDate: 6/20/2021 2:49:13 PMEvent ID: 18Task Category: NoneLevel: ErrorKeywords: User: LOCAL SERVICEComputer: NyeriDescription:A fatal hardware error has occurred.Reported by component: Processor CoreError Source: Machine Check ExceptionError Type: Cache Hierarchy ErrorProcessor APIC ID: 9The details view of this entry contains further information.Event Xml:<Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"> <System> <Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-WHEA-Logger" Guid="{c26c4f3c-3f66-4e99-8f8a-39405cfed220}" /> <EventID>18</EventID> <Version>0</Version> <Level>2</Level> <Task>0</Task> <Opcode>0</Opcode> <Keywords>0x8000000000000000</Keywords> <TimeCreated SystemTime="2021-06-20T21:49:13.0438914Z" /> <EventRecordID>3205</EventRecordID> <Correlation ActivityID="{3dda3a41-71bb-4e12-b79a-6a9c23f7bf36}" /> <Execution ProcessID="4628" ThreadID="5424" /> <Channel>System</Channel> <Computer>Nyeri</Computer> <Security UserID="S-1-5-19" /> </System> <EventData> <Data Name="ErrorSource">3</Data> <Data Name="ApicId">9</Data> <Data Name="MCABank">0</Data> <Data Name="MciStat">0xbaa0200000070135</Data> <Data Name="MciAddr">0x0</Data> <Data Name="MciMisc">0xd01a0ffe00000000</Data> <Data Name="ErrorType">9</Data> <Data Name="TransactionType">1</Data> <Data Name="Participation">256</Data> <Data Name="RequestType">3</Data> <Data Name="MemorIO">256</Data> <Data Name="MemHierarchyLvl">1</Data> <Data Name="Timeout">256</Data> <Data Name="OperationType">256</Data> <Data Name="Channel">256</Data> <Data Name="Length">936</Data> <Data Name="RawData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ata> </EventData></Event>

What is the exact definition of "not using your computer" when it comes to Windows 10 rebooting automatically?

As of today's Windows 10 Pro update the "Notify to schedule restart" choice is no longer available so your suggestion will not work. BTW I was performing a large file transfer today and it was interrupted by an automatic reboot.

Even if your suggestion still worked, what would have happened if I weren't available or didn't notice that there was an update about to require a restart? In that case I wouldn't have known to "reschedule." Moot now I guess since the reschedule
option isn't even there. This is completely unacceptable. I'm afraid Windows 10 has become completely useless. There is too much danger that it will reboot during my work. That is equivalent to a crash--a crash that Microsoft has included "by design."

Any other suggestions? Thanks

My Computer won't come back from sleep mode Windows 10

Hi Chris,



It would be great if you can answer the following questions:

• What is the make and model of the computer?
• Were there any changes made on the computer prior to the issue?

Method 1:

I would suggest you to follow these steps and try to run the Power troubleshooter:

• Press Windows key + X on the keyboard.
• Click on Control panel.
• Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes in the Control panel
  search box.
• Click on Troubleshooting and click on View all.
• Click on Power troubleshooter and follow the on-screen instructions.

Method 2:

I would suggest you to check and install all the updates. I would also suggest you to run the System maintenance troubleshooter by following these steps.

• Press Windows key + X on the keyboard.
• Click on Control panel.
• Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes in the Control panel
  search box.
• Click on Troubleshooting and click on View all.
• Click on System Maintenance troubleshooter and follow the on-screen instructions.

Let us know the results.
