  1. Random Windows 10 shutdown when not in use


    Hello,

    Thank you for taking the time to solve is puzzling problem. Lately, since 6 month ago or so I've begun experiencing this problem where my computer shutsdown randomly. I began attempting to solve it by eliminating hardware problems. first, i ran verifier which stated that [tracker.sys] is the identifiable bluescreen reason for random shutdown. I then went and ran memtest, checked for any viruses via Defender. The results were my memory is good, and Defender did not find any viruses. Until about 4 months ago, I was part of Microsoft community for early stable windows 10 tester. I'm currently running winver1909 and left Community insider program. I was until Mid January part of the Microsoft Edge Dev tester. All of this has led me to see if i can find a pattern or a solid reason i can solve but I've yet to succeed. I hope this information helps, I also included a folder which will have extracted Report of time and date of failure and multiple files to help resolve this, shared via Onedrive. Link is below.


    Thanks in advance

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Random Windows 10 shutdown when not in use

    Random shutdowns by Windows 10

    Windows 10 keeps making random shutdowns. It says it needs to collect some info & will then restart itself for me,. That is as much as I can read before it shuts down. Win10 does this at random times, sometimes while I am playing a game, watching a video
    & when working on something. I have run the Admin CMD before & after these shutdowns, I even held the off button in, making a hard shutdown & ran the the recovery environment checking for errors etc.. There are not any errors reported & no files need to be fixed.

    How do I stop Win10 from making these useless & annoying shutdowns?
