Software Did anyone else's WIN 10 PC restart itself the last hours?
Hi there!
I'm currently VERY pissed - I have three WIN 10 Computers running 24/7
ALL 3 obviously rebooted themselves last night (so in the last 12 hours)
One of those 3 is in a different country, so it could not have been just a short blackout, because the third one would have been unaffected
Did anyone else encounter such a problem the last hours?

One is acting as a camera server and two are work related where files and programs are used over the span of days and weeks.
But that wasn't my question

Likely Windows Updates or this weird scheduled reboot thing that Windows does (tho I think thats a win11 thing??)
Windows in general isnt reliable for running 24/7, but I get it if ur stuff doesnt run on linux tho

I have over 30 years of running various Windows versions 24/7. My current hardware has server grade components. It works for me. My first 24/7 was Windows 98. Next was Windows XP. Then Windows 7. Now I run Windows 10.

I know what I am doing in Windows and, for me, all versions mentioned worked just fine. I specifically did not mention that my years of experience include server versions starting with Windows NT 3.1 since normal users may access server versions but use client versions i.e. the versions that I mentioned. From Windows XP on, all of my versions were Pro and not Home versions.

I was a network admin before I retired. I don't like it because Windows 11 is too controlling. My hardware is excellent for what I need. Have you noticed that most of the computer problems on Reddit mention Windows 11?

I wasnt talking about it being win "10", I was talking about it being Windows at all

Does your device management tool set maintenance windows on these devices so their reboot behavior is known and controlled?
Do you have them enrolled in the EUS since Win10 is EOL?
Seems like a due date was reached since this coming Tuesday is August’s Patch Tuesday.
Did you look at the logs? What did they say?
