dcarabelas, I will try updating the video driver. I have no idea why that would affect sleep mode, but hey, at this point my Lenovo G50 is doing what yours does, I set it to "never" sleep and even if I leave it open, and walk into the other room, I will come back and find it has rebooted...

Rebooted into "Safe Mode" and closed lid. It did not reboot. However, as I stated in my original post, it doesn't do it every time. So unless I reboot into Safe mode several times, I won't know for sure. Thanks though.

I have not tried it in "safe mode". Thanks for your tip for safe mode. I will try that later tonight and post the results.

Hello, I know there was an old thread for this issue, and I've read it and tried the "solutions". My problem persists however. I have a 2 year old Lenovo G50 laptop running Windows 10. Since the Windows updates a month ago, my laptop reboots approximately every other time I close the lid...

I think I was accidentally hitting a "hot" key and disabling touchpad. F6 on my Lenovo seems to turn the touchpad on and off. If I continue to have trouble with it, I'll try checking for new driver. Thanks again for all your help SR-71 Blackbird!

Thanks Blackbird for your help. They all installed now except for two Windows 8.1 for 64x based systems KB3003667 and KB2976536 and Windows Malicious Software Removal tool KB890830. For now, I'm not going to worry about getting those 3 installed. Now if I could just get the touchpad to stop...

Ok thank you. Should I continue to leave antivirus and firewall off?

The only one that succeeded was MS .NET framework KB2934520. Several others say "pending restart" but I've restarted several times and they still say that.

It's just running updates at 0% and has been for last 20 minutes. But, the firewall and antivirus is back up and running.

The time zone thing is weird. I still had to manually change the clock to the correct time even though it was set for Central US time. What does this have to do with Windows Updates? Yes, I have it set to Auto Update. I got one to update, but only after running Windows Update troubleshooter...

The date is correct, but I have to set it to Pacific Time Zone even though I'm in Central Time to get the time to be correct.

Just bought new laptop and took it out of box. It says 56 Windows 8.1 updates 47 of which are important need to be downloaded and installed, but every time I try, they fail. Tried turning off antivirus and firewall and running Windows Installer Troubleshooter. They're still failing. Any ideas?
