Windows 10: Random restarts on release 20H2

I recently installed 20H2 over win7 on my Dell e5440. After a shutdown, windows randomly restarts. Doesn't happen every time and never (so far) more than once in a row. Not a huge problem but mildly annoying - something I would fix if it's not too involved or I could just wait for a windows update.

Thanks for all help or advice...

random restarts

Hi,

If a Windows computer random restarts, the device usually have some damaged system components. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

• Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
• What changes have you made to the device before this issue occurred?
• What troubleshooting steps was already performed to your laptop?

In the meantime, it will be best to make sure that the latest update of Windows is installed on your device. If the same issue happens after installing Windows Update, we suggest running the power troubleshooter. To do so, follow these steps:

• Open the Control Panel.
• Using the search bar at the upper-right corner, type troubleshooting.
• From the search results, click on Troubleshooting and then select System and Security.
  
• Click on Power and then follow the prompts to successfully run the tool.

We are looking forward to your response.
