It's not windows update since this is not a restart but an initiated shutdown while the PC is in use. (basically it's like if you clicked Start-->Power-->Shut down.) This indeed happened before but I don't remember when, the weird thing is I have no software that's allowed to do that and no scheduled task.Could it be a windows update? It tends to force restart sometimes.
Does this occur only once, or is this a lasting problem over time ?
Alright, I will do that but can you explain what it has to do with the shutdown?. ThanksGo to Control Panel > Type in the search "device installation" > Click on "Change device installation settings"
Click on "No let me choose what to do" > choose the option "Never install driver software from Windows Update" and make sure that "Automatically get the device app and info provided by your device manufacture" is UNCHECKED.
