Windows 10: My PC suddenly notifies me that the PC will automatically restart in one minute

My PC suddenly notifies me that the PC will automatically restart in one minute, and after it restarts, it suddenly asks me to sign in with a username and a password, even though I haven't set one before. And the worst thing is that it still keeps restarting every minute. Please help...

Remote desktop causing "Your PC will automatically restart in 1 minute"

I am experiencing this problem as well and it is a MAJOR ISSUE which I don't feel is being given the proper level of response. As best I can tell it has a series of easy reproducible steps.

• Configure a Windows 10 PC so that it has a blank password and boots directly to the desktop on bootup.
• Attempt to RDP to the Windows 10 PC with the blank password from another requesting Windows PC.
• Immediately receive a 1-minute shutdown message on the requesting PC.
• Observe the requesting PC automatically restart within 1 minute, losing any work that wasn't able to be saved within the 1 minute.

This alarming behavior is almost virus-like and puts any computer at risk of being unexpectedly shutdown by simply requesting a RDP session with a Windows 10 PC using a blank password.
