Windows 10 Shutting Down Randomly, Then Reporting To Microsoft.

I used to operate VAX/VMS.

I had to do a reset about two weeks ago. It could be a program I have on the machine causing problems.

[Captain Peter Blood]

I have everything backed up. I will run the check disc and see what happens.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Would not work.

[Captain Peter Blood]

You may be right, I cleaned out the portal and that might do the trick. Thanks.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Thanks for all the advice, It might be something simple like overheating. I cleaned out the portal and it seems to be doing better.

I recall once when a guy set the automated "time out because no response to password prompt" interval, to 1 millisecond.

Good times.

Would not work.

What did not work?

[Captain Peter Blood]

Could not bring up the event viewer. Then I find that other apps would not come up either. I did a reset about three weeks ago. Now I think I need to do a complete reinstall.
So that is what I will do.

[TChad]

Now I think I need to do a complete reinstall.

Sometimes that's actually a time saver.

Good luck.

Late to the party... on Win 7 machines the following patches have been found problematic to say the least:

KB4093112
KB4093118
KB4088875
KB4088878

Last two were the attempt to patch Intel Spectre/Meltdown

[Captain Peter Blood]

Thanks. I went in and deleted the most recent updates and then last night went on and did a full clean new install. The machine is now working correctly. Thanks everyone for the good advice.
