Windows 10 PC shut down automatically for no reason
So, my cousin was messing around with my computer, but a few seconds after he left, my computer just started to shut down without a reason. I couldn't cancel it. Can anyone help?

My guess is maybe the power saving function is on.

So you'll know, when a computer shuts down unexpectantly, there is a reason.
You could check event viewer for Event ID 6008 for the date you are interested and see what description is included
Read Shutdown Logs in Event Viewer in Windows
Moving on, if an unexpected occurrence happens again, be ready to include details of what you see
--- Is it a BSOD with a stop code?
--- Does the computer completely shut down or does it start back up?
--- Take a picture of what you see so you can post that picture if it makes sense to do so.
Since the computer boots back up normally, let it run as it does.

Is your cousin a joker, likes to fool around?
He may have entered shutdown /s /f /t nnn from a Run box or Command prompt.
nnn is some number of seconds delay before the computer shuts down.
Run powercfg /SYSTEMPOWERREPORT from a Elevated Command Prompt. It will create a report C:\Users\youusername\sleepstudy-report.html. Open the file in your browser (File, Open file) to see all power transition in the last 3 days. Maybe that will tell you what happened.

Mine does also. I don't know if the OS version makes a difference but I'm on Ver 1809 (OS Build 17763.503) KB4494441.
