Windows 10: Computer Reboot after closing a game

Recently whenever I have closed games, mainly Apex Legends and Overwatch, my PC has rebooted after closing them. I looked at similar issues from other users and ran a memory check as one of them was instructed however it told me nothing was wrong with memory. I am struggling to understand what the problem is and any help to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Registry folder removed after reboot

You need to do this to find out:

1. Play the game, then close it.
2. Check if the registry subkeys of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\ exist.
3. Reboot.
4. Check if the registry subkeys of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\ exist.

I strongly suspect that the answer is "Yes" in Steps 2 and 4. This would mean that the game deletes the subkeys.
