Windows 10 Automatic Updates

its not a windows update issue, its the fast-boot/hybrid boot option built into Win10.

when you shut your pc off, it dont shut off it goes into a state of hibernation so that when you push the power button to wake it up, it boots faster as its saved stuff to memory.

Windows update is allowed to wake it from this state of hibernation to do its thing.

shutting the fastboot/ hybrid boot off allows the computer to completely shut off when the pc is told to shut off!

 

PC shutting down and booting up strangely

Hi Michael. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

Sleep issues are mainly governed by Display adapter which has problems with Windows Update lately. So let's troubleshoot that first:

Check for a newer Display driver on the PC or Display adapter Support Downloads webpage. While there check if there are other newer drivers to Update, including BIOS, Chipset, Sound, Network, USB3, Bluetooth and all others. Compare to the one present installed
in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu.. You can take your time until they are all updated.

There is a known issue of incorrect Display driver being pushed by Windows Update which requires rolling back the driver. Right click Start to open Device Manager, choose Display device, then Driver tab, then Roll back.

If there is no Roll Back or that doesn't help choose Update Driver on Display device Driver tab, then Browse Computer, then Let Me Pick to see a list of all previously installed Display drivers, work backwards trying each to find one that works.

If necessary you can also go to Settings>Update & Security>Windows Update to look for the driver under Installed Updates and Uninstall it form link there. Then you can hide the driver so it isn't pushed again using the Hide Updates tool downloaded from here:

If none of those work try to System Restore to a point before the problem began:

Next turn off Fast Startup at Settings > System > Power & Sleep > Additional Power Settings > Choose what Power buttons do > Change settings that are unavailable > uncheck Fast Startup.

Then complete the rest of the steps for troubleshooting Sleep issues:

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

 

You need to send him a Private Message on this. Otherwise if you are in need of help by group, post what errors you are getting and that you have made sure that it is not a overheating CPU or bad Power Supply.
