Windows 10 Shuts Down

Tell you what: I never know when the man made computer is going to start in the morning. Thing is, I can't be sure it is windows 10, or a problem with the computer. Furthermore, I have never seen the slightest benefit from the frequent 'updates' they pretty much demand we accept.

Having said that, I have no help or information to offer.

Windows 10 doesn't shut down randomly for either me or my husband or anyone I work with.

You might want to run a scan for malware

Or it's a faulty hardware problem.

That, too.

FWIW, after checking for virus and malware, I’d see whether or not your power supply is healthy. How old is the system?

What’s the system doing when it goes down? Is it using a certain app or running a specific program? Or just random?

Hold on here. You’ve posted earlier recent issues you’re having as well. Are these problem issues concurrent with the other issues? Might they be related?

Furthermore, based on your other posts, is it possible you’re doing some photo editing and running out of memory? Or using a program that might not be compatible?

I suggest getting "hardware info" ( do a search ) so you could see if the temp is being monitored. Usually that is the problem.

When my computer shutdown it is often it gets too hot. Most computers have a built security feature that will shut the computer down or put it into sleep mode when it is too hot.

80 in the summer is normal ( labtop )
70 in the winter is normal ( labtop )
My desktop is in the 60's most of the time.

I will admit my Windows XP machine will shut-down at random but after turning of the browsers that seems to solve that problem.

I use the same vender for all my machines, ( not Dell or HP ), and they seem to have a built in alarm and shutdown warning if the computer temp goes above a certain amount.

If anything is a virus it is Quickbooks. It installs it's own account and no matter how much I try to clean the registery it is still there. I have to literally go into the operating system files and possible run the true
admin to remove anything. It is a pain to remove.

Malware Bytes
Smadav ( extremly strict but has many up to date definitions )
Symatic ( has many older definitions )

are some of the best outside the windows firewall system

I doubt it was any kind of virus. My mail program I use automatically filters out anything that is clearly a scam link and often reading them I find them to be poorly written and sometimes I will get an alert.
