    Help Please with computer powering off


    I have a new computer. I have one task that tells the computer to turn off at 11:30 nightly. Here lately the last two mornings, I come in, the computer is complete power off. I turn it on and get working about 10 mins into what I'm doing, I get this message that my computer is going to completely power off. It powers off, I wait 10 secs, turn it back on and the rest of the day/evening, it stays on no problems. So what could be causing this?
    Thanks

    In the command box[run as administrator]type in---powercfg /help---and enter.
    This will provide you with an extensive list of commands which should help to solve the problem.
    I don't use the automatic system so am not up to speed with it,prefer the manual method.

    Please perform the following . . .

     PowerCFG - Requests

    [1] Press the Win + X keys together > Command Prompt (Admin).
    [2] Type powercfg -Requests 2>&1 > Enter.

    • Under Requests, it should say None for everything.
    • If NOT, the item[s] could possibly STOP the computer from going to, or waking up, from Sleep.
    • Post ANY items that are NOT None.


    I hope this helps.

    Your first step should be to check the TS Task definition and its history.
    - It is worth unsetting this property to make sure it is not complicating events - Settings tab, Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed
    - If you have Enable all tasks history on the right-hand side of TS then click on it. It does not act retrospectively so you won't get anything useful until tomorrow.
