          No shutdowns today during this morning.

          Windows Update forced me to update and install some updates and drivers, I only performed the updates that Windows Update prompted me to perform and I didn’t install any 3rd party programs even for the drivers (but the pc installed autonomously the NVIDIA control panel).

          I don’t know if that changed something so I’ll share new reports:

              The computer shut down and then reboots autonomously. It did it once today’s afternoon just some minutes ago:
              I turned it on for the first time today, I left it idling for 20 seconds and then it happened

                [li]Go to Control Panel and select System and Security > System > Advanced system settings.[/li][li]In the Startup and Recovery section, choose Settings.[/li][li]Uncheck the box next to Automatically restart.[/li][/ol]
                Hopefully, this will show us a blue screen and generate a dump file.

                    So, it’s just shutting down and rebooting? Hmmm.

                    Open an elevated command prompt:

                    In this prompt copy and paste this wmic recoveros set DebugInfoType = 1 Hit Enter.

                    In the same prompt, copy and paste this wmic recoveros set WriteToSystemLog = True Hit Enter.

                    In the same prompt, copy and paste this wmic recoveros set OverwriteExistingDebugFile = 0 Hit Enter.

                    Go ahead and reboot.

                      It gives me an error:
                      ‘wmic’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
                      operable program or batch file.

                        I needed to install wmic as an additional feature since it is becoming deprecated, I managed to do that following this guide:


                        In the end, I was able to enter those commands. Is there anything else I should do?

                          Wait until it exhibits any symptoms. Then, we’ll see if it generated a dump file.

                            It just restarted 3 times in a row, the second time it happened while it was starting, so I got this error message [ATTACH type=“full” alt=“IMG_20250114_161507.webp”]15055[/ATTACH]

                            I chose restart, then I quickly inserted my pin and once I was on the desktop it happened immediately giving me this error message here

                            I chose advanced repair options and then turn off.

                            Where should I look for dump files?

                              I looked into C:/Windows and into C:/Windows/MiniDump, but the latter doesn’t exist and the former does not contain any dump files

                                While I was looking for dump files I noticed 2 strange things:

                                The first one is that I have a Windows.old folder, is this normal? I could have forgotten to clean the partition before installing Windows the second time…
                                The second one is that I cannot see 2 of my local drives, precisely: the Patriot burst SATA SSD and the other C partition that is not the one with the local disk installed on
