Well, there most likely are folk out there somewhere who think Microsoft's developers can do no wrong . . .

But: What, exactly, is the benefit of Windows 10 -- entirely unprovoked or so directed -- simply shutting down on its own whenever it decides to do so? Perhaps it is an inherent MS principle to design this interruption so that an operator will be forced to sit back, take some slow breaths, try to relax, and enjoy the few minutes of non-computer time as Windows decides to start back up again -- entirely unprovoked or so directed . . . ?

So: Is this considered a "benefit" of Windows 10 or a "problem to be solved"?

Information appreciated.

There's no feature that causes Windows 10 to shut down on its own "whenever it decides to do so."

Whether there's a problem with Windows or another case of user error is hard to tell; you've told us precisely nothing about the problem. As is typical, the time you spent complaining about Windows would have been better used to provide actual details of the issues, the history of the problem, and your full specifications.

I don't also remember any auto-shutdown options natively (maybe some scheduled task or software is doing it?) SAVE for the updates, but they never end up in a shutdown, they will restart (and even restore your programs), and they come with so many bells and whistles it's not easy to ignore. That sounds like something is causing it rather than the core Windows. Care to share details?
