My Laptop keeps restarting

Hi Charles,

Corruption within the system files is one of the possible reason why your laptop suddenly restarts. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

• Which build, version and edition of Windows 10 is installed on your computer?
• What is the make and model of your laptop?
• What changes were made to the device before this issue happened?
• Have you encountered any error messages when the computer restarts?

For initial troubleshooting, we suggest following the steps provided by
Niranjan Manjhi in this thread.

We'll be waiting for your reply.

ASUS Laptop randomly restarts

There could be various reasons why your laptop is having random restarts. Some of these causes are
important Windows Updates, anti-virus, incompatibility issue with the graphic card drivers, and
overheating.

We'd like to know more information to help us identify the root cause of the said concern. Kindly answer the questions below:

• Are you getting any messages when the computer restarts? (e.g. "Configuring updates...")
• Is the issue happening only when your PC is idle or does it also happen while you are using it?
• How often does this issue occur?

By default, Windows 10 automatically downloads updates and restarts your PC to install those. This allows you to get the latest features and improvements for your operating system. You can schedule updates using active hours in Windows 10 or select a specific
schedule to restart your PC be following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + I to open Settings.
• Click Update & security.
• Look for Restart options and click it.
• Set the schedule for the time when you want your PC to restart and install the updates.

If the suggested steps above do not resolve your concern, you may also want to run the
Power troubleshooter to check for any incorrect power settings which may cause such. To do so, please do these steps:

• Access the Control Panel of your computer.
  
• In the Control Panel Search field, type troubleshooting.
• Click Troubleshooting.
