Windows 10: Windows just rebooted my PC at 8:45am this morning and I dont know why

I was using my PC normally, had lots of important documents and programs running and went making a coffee, this was around 8:40 am, when I came back I was puzzled seeing my login screen. I looked into the event logs if the PC just had some very unlikely bluescreen, but it seems Windows itself initiated a force reboot, without user interaction at 8:45:01 am

Code: Vom Prozess "C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe (...)" wurde auf Anforderung des Benutzers "NT-AUTORITÄT\SYSTEM" das Ereignis "Neustart" für den Computer "..." aus folgendem Grund initiiert: "Betriebssystem: Service Pack (geplant)" Ursachencode: "0x80020010" Herunterfahrtyp: "Neustart" Kommentar: ""[/quote] I am worried now that it could be some virus maybe. Doesnt Windows normally asks if it wants to do a reboot, because of updates? It totally force closed all my programs I was running.

Notify to schedule restart doesn't work

I have my updates setup like the screen shot above. But mine is even worse. I will be working, as in typing in an email like this morning with a number of apps open, and the PC just reboots. Happened an 9:45am central time today. Very frustrating when
I am in SQL Server Management Studio running large queries and Windows 10 just decides to "do what's best" and reboot. Then I have to wait while it "performing updates - do not power off your PC". Not a very well thought out process from Microsoft.

 

Persistant alarm notification with Windows Mobile 5

I have a Cingular 3125 smartphone with Windows Mobile 5 (I'm not sure if there's a "pro" version or anything, it just says "Version 5.0"), and I have an alarm that was once set and cleared that goes off at 2:45AM every morning. I've set other alarms and
cleared them, but still the one at 2:45AM will sound. I've tried setting another alarm for 2:45AM, letting it go off, and canceling it, but the phone still gives a notification.

I've read that Windows Mobile has a problem with clearing its Notification Queue, and there must be something in there that's causing my problem. However, I've tried to install SKTools Lite, and can't get it installed; when trying from my PC, I'm told "ActiveSync
not found on this computer. Setup cannot continue and will now exit.", and if I try from the phone directly, it says " 'sktoolslite' is not a valid Windows CE application." I've checked my phone settings, and ActiveSync is enabled and connected, so I'm not
sure why it's not detected.

Is there something else I can use to get rid of this annoying Notification? I find it absurd that I have to use a third-party program to do this, instead of being able to cancel it from the phone itself, but I've basically stopped trying to understand why
Windows does the things it does.

 

0x80020010 is software update not complete, meaning it needs to reboot to update system or software files currently in use.

It could have been windows hadn't received any input(key strokes) from you in a bit, and considered the PC to be inactive and initiated Auto Maintenance which includes a scheduled reboot that has been pending.

 

Like I said, I was away for about 5-7 minutes, and Windows just force rebooted the PC, without user interaction, closing all opened documents and files...

 

Take a look in Task Scheduler at Windows Update and look at the settings, specially for "Idle Time":




Also you can set a better time for Auto Maintenance tio run:




Idle time means no mouse or keyboard input from you, it has little to do with programs running or settings in Power Options(which some believe).

 

The settings you mentioned have nothing to do with this:

I also was just about 3-5 minutes away from keyboard including INPUT, I am telling you this now a 3rd time btw.

I think the problem was this setting:





I dont think this can be desired Windows force closing and force rebooting without any idle timeout or user feedback.

But how can I deactivate Windows 10 updating 3rd party drivers or software? I think the problem was Windows 10 installing an update for the Asus touchpad, which I dont want to happen, because it always overwrites an older version over a newer one.

Ok found this: Stop automatic driver updates on Windows 10 | Windows 10 content from SuperSite for Windows

Hope it wont happen anymore in the future.
