I'm using win10 and usually restart to update pretty quickly, but this
time when it asked for now, set a time, or Later, twice I chose later.

This morning, I saw that the computer had restarted. It must have,
because no programs were open. Maybe there was a short power failure.


Event Viewer should have an entry about an unplanned shutdown (or words
to that effect) if it was a crash.


I went through every section twice and didn't see anything like that.

There were not tasks in the task bar. That's how I concluded all the
programs had stopped. And the desktop was showing completely.

How could the programs stop by themselves, especially all of them?


How can it make an entry in a log if there is a power failure? Does it
do it when it restarts?


I did see an hour before I stopped using it, but I don't see how this
would matter:

Windows Update started downloading an update.

Installation Started: Windows has started installing the following
update: 9NBLGGH5PNB1-Microsoft.OneConnect
