System restarts without user intervention following power off.
You're experiencing an automatic reboot when you shut down Windows 8.1 Pro. This behavior can be caused by background services, startup scripts, or system updates. Check the Task Manager for any suspicious processes, disable unnecessary startup items, and ensure no pending updates are running. If the issue persists, consider restarting in safe mode to isolate the problem.
your system behaves the same when using sleep, waking up after roughly eight seconds. you’re unsure how to resolve this, but here’s a tip: in your BIOS there’s an option called “reboot after crash.” since you’re not actually crashing, it might be triggered by something unrelated to a real failure. checking or adjusting this setting could help.
well... you may have a malware installed on it too... it's a possibility...
Great! Malwarebytes and a solid antivirus scan can make a difference. If not, verify your BIOS settings.
