Too many times I have woken up to find my PC (which has been left on overnight) has for some reason been rebooted during the night, interrupting things like downloads.
Is there any way to stop this? It is very annoying.

I find that every Thursday evening [for example] my computer [which is windows 10] has its own scheduled reboots for the week.
I just exit out of the popup and go on with life.
perhaps, shutting your pc down overnight -- especially if you have any sort of wifi or internet connection still running. that is how hackers do their shit.

Don't know about not getting Windows to stop rebooting, but Catman used to have a similar problem with interrupted downloads.
To get around having to restart the damn thing each time:
1. Find the partially downloaded file (maybe with the extension .part) and rename it.
2. Restart the download then pause it after a couple minutes.
3. Delete the new partially downloaded file -- the name should be the same as the original.
4. Rename the original partial download to its original name.
5. Restart the download.

Could it be, that Windows 10 is downloading updates behind your back, and then Windows 10 reboots itself, so that the updates are installed?

how often does this happen? but in general I think Tuesdays are when Microsoft releases updates for Windows 10 once a month and these will likely cause system reboots, especially if your away from your PC any length of time. you can adjust the 'change active hours' in Windows 10 which could help deter this a little bit. but assuming nothing is out of whack with your Windows 10 installation it might be worth looking into hardware faults like running a check on your system RAM to make sure it's not faulty and run something that puts a heavy load on your CPU (i.e. Prime95) to make sure the system is stable. but if you got some free time... if you have not done it in a while I would clean install Windows 10 (i.e. deletes everything on your primary hard drive(or SSD) and installs Windows 10 from scratch), using the newest ISO file(boot it from DVD or USB), from scratch just to guarantee that Windows 10 itself is in good running order. just some general thoughts  |
