Windows 10 PC's over heating

Also, leaving things on will reduce their lifetime, use energy, increase costs. Unless there is a substantial backup task, ongoing processing, or need to access them remotely e.g, they should be shut down. Sure, some scheduled maintenance task could be run, but shut them down afterwards.

Agreed. Event ID 6005 was no where to be found....So I had 3 shut down batch files run over night last night. One at 8pm, task completed, One at 2am completed, and then one at 4am that didn't complete until 7:03am. Teacher still said that computer was on when she came to school?? This is extremely strange. I have added a shut down batch for 7:20am to see if this fixes anything. I tested this image thoroughly and it ran clean and fast. I do want like Windows 10 but its becoming a pain. Just hope these components can take some more hours...

Ill give it another look, I reimaged an exact system and put it into our domain and signed into a teachers name, I just hope my first release wasn't a bad image, This second one I have here in my office did not boot up once and they ran the batch file and remained off all night. Ill have to recheck on the teachers PC. I had a small time frame too look and there in the middle of class right now.

Not sure if I need to start another thread for this but I have used EASEUS Disk imaging software for all of my copies. If I apply the shutdown batch file within the C: drive and use the .\administrator account with multiple tasks for the shutdown batch files with PC name ES-TEST-PC-01 for my image and then change the pc name for each copied drive for ES-(room)-PC-01 which is how its managed within our Active directory will it make a difference if I change the PC name, will it still run the task with the old pc name once I change it?

This picture may help the confusion I might have caused:


Reason why I ask is because if I could make this file run or at least try to run anytime its on throughout the night I could just add it to this one PC here and copy the image and go rename the pc according to room and add in our domain then activate win 10 and office 16 and then be done with it which would be nice.

essenbe, when I first seen this thread I thought that would fix the problems, went to the pc and check and on all users it was already disabled. So something else is causing this...

I did disable fast startup, I checked my scheduled tasks and set them to perform during the middle of the day, when I seen it still didn't work, I disabled all of them besides my shutdown batch file.

If this helps any they are Dell OptiPlex 960s with 4gb ram and 160gb 7200rpm hard drives.
