Windows 10: How to disable restart computer after a hardware change?

Hi world, I've being looking for this option or workaround and can't find anything. I just want to disable the option to prevent Windows 10 from restarting after a simple hardware change. For example, I'm uninstalling/installing COM1 and every time I do it, it asks for a restart because of the hardware change. Even disabling/enabling the COM port, Windows ask for the restart. The rare thing is that this never happened before until a couple of weeks back. Thanks in advance!

Hi world,

Automated Restart of Windows 10 PC

Hello,

If Windows suddenly restarts without warning, or restarts when you try to shut it down, it might be caused by one of several issues. An outdated driver and software conflict are some of the possible reasons. Having said that, we suggest performing
the following steps:

Step 1: Disabling the automatic restart option to view error messages.

Many hardware driver or operating system errors will cause the computer to display a specific error message before stopping the operation or shutting down the computer. However, if the Automatically restart option
is enabled, an error message might not be displayed despite an error taking place. Disable this option to allow the computer to display the error message.
Follow these steps to disable the Automatically restart option:

• 
  In Windows, search for and open View advanced system settings.
  
• 
  Click Settings in the Startup and Recovery section.
  
• Remove the check mark next to Automatically restart under System Failure, then click OK.
• Restart the computer.

Step 2: Checking for failed hardware.

Hardware problems can cause the computer to restart unexpectedly.

Let us know if that worked out for you.
