Windows 10: You are about to be signed out - Unwanted Power Downs

For about 8 months I have been getting a blue window popping up stating that "You will be signed out, Windows will shut down in less than a minute."





I have done everything I can to refuse the reboot of the system during certain hours and requiring the system to notify me of a pending reboot requirement.


This happens randomly and at any time it wishes, with no way to intervene. It does not restart, it just shuts down completely and I have to manually power the machine on.


This has occurred 2 times in the last 24 hours.

12:54 AM on Feb 22 and at 7:17PM Feb 22.


It would be impossible to determine this through the process of elimination due to the disparity in time this usually occurs. It could be weeks, months, or twice in 24 hours.
