Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my computer. It seems it powers off automatically when I let it sleep or use the CTRL+ALT+DEL shortcut. After a brief pause, it restarts itself. I've checked the sleep settings and confirmed they haven't been changed. The mouse or keyboard doesn't seem to trigger it back on. After a Windows update and a Nvidia driver update, this started happening again. I'm hoping someone can suggest a solution or at least try reinstalling Windows. Thanks!

If it's an optical mouse, it might stop working if it lands on a surface that activates it. This happens when it detects something new it hasn't seen before, like fake wood grain, which tricks it into thinking the mouse has been moved.

Thank you for the feedback. It seems the mouse and keyboard were disconnected during shutdown, yet they still rebooted.

It seems Microsoft might make a mistake with a one-car funeral. A simpler solution exists than reinstalling updates. You can remove updates here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wind...fecdf0534e

After your system starts, launch the command prompt or Terminal and run: powercfg /lastwake. This shows which device woke the system from sleep. Common causes include Wake on LAN/Alarm enabled on a network interface. A wired mouse might be responsible—its slight movement can trigger the wake-up. If no device is listed, it suggests the system didn’t enter sleep properly. You can open the command prompt as Administrator, go to the root directory, and type powercfg /energy to generate a report. Click the file when prompted; it should be named energy.mhtml if you remember correctly.
