Windows 10 rebooting every night between 4:30 am and 5:00 am, there is nothing in task scheduler or event viewer that would indicate a reason for this. Can anyone help?

Hello Eric,

Sorry to know that you are facing issues with Windows 10. We'll certainly assist you with this.



This may happen if the computer is not fully shutting down due any third party software conflict or incorrect power plan settings.

At first, I would suggest you to place the computer in clean boot state and check,

Step 1: To help troubleshoot error messages and other issues, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." A clean boot helps eliminate software
conflicts.

Placing your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to follow the steps from the article mentioned below to perform a Clean Boot.

How to perform a clean boot in Windows

Note: Refer "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting" to reset the computer to start as normal after troubleshooting.

Step 2: I would suggest you to run the Power troubleshooter and check.

Type Troubleshooting in search bar and click it

Click System & Security and then click Power. Follow the instructions.

Hope this helps, let us know the status of the issue.

 

Try this from a Elevated Command Prompt:

powercfg /lastwake

I'm assuming the computer is sleeping at that point?

 

Could there be an update that has failed and is trying again every day? The reason I say that it on mine after it updates if it needs a reboot is shows "3:30am looks good" (I turn my computer off when I'm not using it, I just reboot before I shut down for the day if needed by an update) I'm on central time, if you're on eastern time it would be 4:30am maybe, I'm grasping at straws here.

I have no idea why this would happen without reason, and the reboot after update came to mind. If an update would fail it could continue to try and install by going through the process which may include rebooting.

Update history would indicate if there was a problem. Settings > Update and Security > Advanced Options > View Your Update History, see if there are any failed updates.
