Windows 10: System restarts after locking when RD isn't used

After we started working from home on March, I started using Remote Desktop to connect to my Windows 10 machine. That worked fine, but when I came back into the office in June I noticed that my machine seemed to restart most nights, but not all. Eventually I realized it was restarting when I would leave it either locked or unlocked as it auto-locks after 15 minutes for any longer than about 45-60 minutes it was not consistent, but that it wouldn't restart if I connected to it via Remote Desktop. I took to connecting to it via Remote Desktop from my phone as I was leaving, and ignored it for a while. I'm trying to look into it now, so I've done a number of things to verify it is still a problem that I could use help with.


I tried doing system diagnostics from Lenovo, my laptop maker, which included a multi-hour memory diagnostics. All that came back fine. I tried re-installing Windows, but the problem with the same symptoms has persisted. I have updated all my drivers, and the problem is unchanged; it restarts after about an hour, but not if I connect to it via Remote Desktop first.


I looked through the event log and I can see where it starts back up, but there are no events related to it going down and nothing consistent or abnormal seems to happen before it restarts. I did notice a BSOD a couple of times when I was around when it restarted, and I did see a BugCheck event entry after starting up, which led me tothis post on Driver Verifier and this post on BSOD logs. I have followed the instructions there for turning on Driver Verifier, and was able to reproduce the problem with that turned on. I captured the minidump logs for the past few times, the full memory dump for this last time, and the MSInfo32 output. I've put these in this folder in OneDrive. If anyone is able to help, or point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Printer isn´t working after latest update.

After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

 

Cortana isn´t working

When I hit enter, it did something, but there´s still no Cortana, even after restart. So I tried it again, but now it says that it failed, because it´s already installed and it´s working in PC. So it should work, but Cortana still isn´t here.
