Windows 10: Random programs not allowed to run/ System overheating

1. Over the last month or so I have been getting the following error for a number of random programs: "This app can't run on your PC".

Windows random reboot

Hi jayewaah,

There are several reasons that computers do a random reboot such as overheating, third-party programs running on the background that is causing conflicts on the system or corrupted system files.

I'd like to know the following details so I can provide the appropriate troubleshooting steps to help resolve this concern:

• What is the make and model of your device?
• Were there any changes made prior to the issue?
• What antivirus program are you using?
• Was your device overheating the moment you play games?
• In which instance does the reboot occurs besides when playing games?
• Do you have a third-party antivirus program installed on your device?
• Do you have any third-party programs installed recently?

For initial troubleshooting, kindly follow these steps:

• Check if there are available updates for your device by clicking on the
  Start button, then select Settings >
  Update & security > Windows Update > Check for updates.
• Verify if there are drivers that are missing or needs update. follow the steps on
  Update drivers in Windows 10 article.
• Check if there are blockages inside your device's components that may lead to overheating. (cooling fan)
• Perform a clean boot on your device to isolate the issue. This will determine if there are third-party
  applications that is causing conflict on your system. This will also help you check if the performance will improve and if the reboot instances will stop.

Update us with the results.
