Random restarts Windows 10

I don’t know what this means. Please explain.

Since I have been using Windows defender and firewall I have not had any random restarts.
Perhaps Bitdefender and/or Zonealarm both free editions are the reason for the restarts.
If Bitdefender free edition or Zonealarm free edition or either or both are causing the random restart issue please tell me if settings can be adjusted to prevent or stop the random restarts using both of these.
If they are causing the issue and preventing the issue by not having them installed which free antivirus and free firewall would you recommend? I have had issues with all the free antivirus software I have used. I do only want to use a free antivirus and free firewall.
Thanks.

He was merely tagging me to bring my attention to your thread.

If you are not having issues with Windows Defender and Windows Firewall, it would be best to keep it that way.

Having Multiple AntiVirus programs and/or Firewalls can cause more problems then good. An example would be the random restarts you have been having.

Since you are on Windows 10, an extra AntiVirus is not really needed. Windows Defender ranks as high as any other AV on the market.

I did not think that I had more than one av running at a time.
I will use Windows defender.
I think the issue is solved for now.
Thanks for helping me.
