I want there to be no circumstances under which my computer restarts
Look, I cannot arrive at work in the morning and my computer has reset itself and I lost the things I was working on.
How do I do this?

Best practice is to save your work, close your apps, and sign off before leaving work. At a minimum, lock your device. Best to sign off and shut it down or put it to sleep/hibernation. Leaving any computer up and running unattended could cause a security issue.
Most likely not what you wanted to hear.
This looks like a re-post of a previous thread. Did you get any good answers in that one?
how do i make it so my computer never ever reboots overnight?
And it's probably no coincidence that both that thread and this one are the day after 'Patch Tuesday'. These monthly updates are regular as clockwork, issued at 10am Pacific time on the second Tuesday of each month. It shouldn't be too difficult to makes sure you save all your work in advance of these updates.
I do hope you don't leave unsaved work in open programs, then put the PC to sleep. What happens if there's a power outage? That would be remarkably poor practise.
Don't forget you can use Active Hours to limit when your PC restarts. That's in Settings.
This is apparently a work PC - why not consult your IT staff? Do they not have some sort of policy in place?
