Win 11 reboots itself

[esebm]

Hi, I'm running win 11 (23H2) and for about a week now my desktop reboots itself 3-5 times a day out of the blue.
What's going on here?
Also, it seems that MS Edge runs constantly in the background. Can that be turned off?
I'd really appreciate any advice.

Any BSOD? what are the notes given on the screen?

 

[esebm]

No BSOD, screen just turns black and goes into the reboot routine.
I the meantime I did read about that. Seems that MS has screwed up the latest update.

Waiting for new patch update .. will see if have any errors ..

 

[esebm]

OK, updated and waiting.

How do I stop Edge running constantly in the background?

 

[esebm]

OK, same crap as before the patch!

This is my settings .. but the option in first screenshot will still comes out on the next reboot .. but I can see Edge running in Task Manager after closing it ..

Unsure, but my system works fine .. you can try download this https://www.chameleon-managers.com/windows-startup-manager/

.. and remove all startup objects, you can see example my startup items in my screenshot in the post herea above ..

OK, thanks. I'll try that chameleon thing

 

[esebm]

OK, Chameleon is installed and it seems to work.
I'm not really sure how to interpret the results. Can I turn things off that I don't need?

yes, u can turn off most startup apps, for myself I have removed almost everything because you can actually open the applications manually and it will work .. if you dont want to delete, you can "uncheck" the box and disable it .. in case if you have problem then you can turn the related startup apps again

Just post if you have any issues, I can assist you later

It seems that I got rid of Edge running all the time.
However, the PC keeps restarting every 2 or 3 hours. Getting on my nerve.

 

[Xploit Machine]

Have you checked the desktop CPU's fan status? is the processor overheating? dusts on the fan?

 

[esebm]

I'll open the box to install a 2nd SSD and will dust it.

 

[esebm]

Dusted the PC, wasn't really much, it's only a little over 1 year old. No difference, keeps restarting at random.

 

[Xploit Machine]

Backup ure data and fresh install .. lets see if OS or the Hardware issues..

In your BIOS, do you have power management (or whatever it's called on your PC) set to turn the PC on when it sees Power?

Check your input power, just to make sure you don't have a loose wire somewhere. I've taken service calls, just to find a loose wall plug.
A reboot is NOT a single operation. It's actually TWO. A shutdown followed by a RE-Boot.
So, why is it shutting down in the first place? There is where to start your search.

Good Luck,
Shadow

I am willing to do a repair install but what happens when the PC shuts down in the middle of things?

I go back to my post #17.
I suspect that your rebooting problem is NOT Windows, but a power problem.
Don't touch Windows, till you've totally established that there is NO Power problem.
As a computer tech of more than 40 years, I've found and fixed many Power Problems, as simple as a loose power plug at the wall.

 

[esebm]

I have taken the PC apart because I had to install another SSD drive.
I checked and reconnected all power connectors. There was nothing loose.
