▷ Solutions when windows 10 restarts itself

If your Windows 10 restarts on its own and without warning, in this step-by-step we will see what the possible causes and solutions for this system error may be, or perhaps your own computer.

After a significant amount of updates in the journey of Windows 10, the system is quite stable. We hardly see blue screenshots, much less surprise restarts, since the company has been in charge of covering up all these small or big errors to gain stability.

However, there may still be various reasons why Windows 10 restarts without prior notice, and this may be due to many and varied causes, from updates that we had not even noticed were being installed, to physical failures in the components. of our team. We will see all this below.

How to view system error events

One way to identify which is the error that is occurring in our team, is through the system event viewer. In this way we will be able to know what were the causes of the error that occurred before the equipment was turned off or restarted. To access this viewer we will do the following:

• We open the start menu and write " Event Viewer " to open the search result with this same name. Now we will open a tool where we will have to place ourselves on " Windows Registries " and within this, in " System " it would not hurt to look the rest of Logs.

When we access we will see the list of all the events that have occurred in the system. We will distinguish the errors by means of the red symbol with the "X". It is in these that we will have to look to find more information about the error.

If we double click on the error, the window will open to know more details about it. The Internet will be our ally to see what this error can correspond to.

It would be interesting if you wrote us in the comments the error produced to attach them in this guide to search together for a solution.

Solution 1: Turn off quick start

One of the possible causes of continuous reboots may be due precisely to the Windows 10 quick start option. The quick start will allow us to considerably speed up the startup process of our system, although sometimes it gives problems when loading programs and configurations..

This is why the first thing we should do to start ruling out errors is to disable this option in our system.

• We open the start menu and write " Power Options " and then click on the search result " Power and Sleep Settings " Once inside the configuration window, click on " Additional Power Settings "

• Now we are going to " Choose the behavior of the Start and off buttons " In the new window an option will appear at the top of " Change the currently unavailable configuration " Doing this will activate the options that are just below. We must uncheck the option " Activate quick start "

Now we will test to see if the pc no longer restarts on its own.

Solution 2: PC restarts and won't shutdown when I press shutdown button

This is another of the most common problems that occur in our team. It seems silly, but sometimes this configuration is modified and when we press the shutdown button, what the computer does is restart or suspend.

Precisely on the screen of the previous section of the system's energy configuration, the two options for the equipment buttons will appear:

• When pressing the start / stop button: we must choose the " Shutdown " option. When pressing the suspend button: we must choose the " suspend " option

Solution 3: Windows 10 restarts after a few hours (1)

This failure can be caused by critical system errors, and the system automatically turns off after a prolonged crash or this type of error. It may also be due to failures in our physical components. We will now deal with the first aspect.

Windows 10 by defeco will automatically restart when a serious error occurs. What we can do is disable this option and see how our team responds. To do this we will follow the following procedure:

• We open the file explorer and right-click on " This computer " to choose the " Properties " option. In the system information window we must click on the " Advanced system configuration " option. Now in the system properties window, click on the " Settings " button in the " start and recovery " section

• Within this window, we will click on the option " Automatically restart "

We will now continue to use our equipment as normal, to see if the restarts continue.

Solution 4: Windows 10 restarts after a few hours (2)

Another cause of our computer restarting after a few hours, may be because some of our physical components are working abnormally. The dissipation elements may be malfunctioning, especially if we have never opened our chassis the amount of dust may be a problem.

In this case, what we must do is measure the temperature of our components to see if any of them exceeds 70 or 80 degrees. It is precisely for this reason that the computer restarts to try to lower temperatures.

How to know my PC's temperature

After doing the appropriate checks and seeing abnormal temperatures in the equipment, we should clean the components well and check if all the problems have been solved.

Solution 5: Problematic updates

As with so many other troubleshooting tutorials, this one is applicable here as well. Windows updates not only renew our system, they can also ruin it. Some time ago, an update came out that precisely caused the computer to restart constantly. And recently the great update Windows 2018 October Update directly removed our files.

This is why if we have recently received an update and have noticed this change on our computer, what we should do is uninstall them. For this visit our tutorial:

Solution 6: Start in Safe Mode and restore with DISM and SFC

If the above causes are not applicable to your problem, what you could do is start the computer in safe mode and apply a series of commands.

It is not necessary to start in safe mode anyway, although it is recommended. This way we would be starting Windows without any third-party drivers. Furthermore, it is possible that thanks to this restart in safe mode we can better detect the cause of the error.

In order to restart in safe mode, follow this tutorial:

How to start Windows 10 in safe mode

In any case, we will have to start either PowerShell or Command Prompt. For this we will open the start menu and write " CMD " or " PowerShell"

Now we will introduce the following commands. Every time we enter one, we will press Enter.

DISM / Online / cleanup-image / CheckHealth

DISM / online / cleanup-image / scanHealth

DISM / online / cleanup-image / RestoreHealth

sfc / scannow

After doing all this, the system will practically be restored almost completely, so it should be restored to its proper functioning.

Solution 7: Windows 10 clean boot

Another solution is to identify one by one the services and startup programs that may be causing problems in our system. It is tedious work, but surely we will correctly identify which one is causing problems.

If this error has started to occur after the installation of any program, what we will have to do is disable it before anyone else, then restart

• To do this we must open the Run tool by using the key combination " Windows + R " and write inside " msconfig " Once the system configuration window opens, we will go to the " services " tab Here we will click on " Hide all Microsoft services ”to do the first screen. Next, we will click on“ Disable all ”, to disable the remaining services

• The next thing will be to go to the " Windows Start " tab where we will click on the link in the window to access the task manager. Here we will dedicate ourselves to selecting each program that exists and to clicking on the disable button.

Now what we will have to do is restart the computer. If the error does not reappear, it is that one of these programs and services is causing the error. What we will have to do is activate each of these programs with their corresponding service and restart until we find which one is causing the problems.

It is tedious work, but surely we will find the error sooner or later.

Solution 8: Restore or restart Windows 10

Every bug tutorial should end with the star solution. If nothing has worked, as usual, what we will have to do is choose to restore Windows 10 or reinstall it.

Do not worry because in both cases we can keep our files safe and sound if you follow our corresponding tutorials.
