Problem:
Whenever I’m working on my computer in the evening lately, I keep getting a warning that my server is going to shutdown at 7:00 PM.
Resolution:
- Open the Task Scheduler on your computer. You can search for it in the Start menu.
Look for any tasks that might be set to shut down the computer at 7:00 PM. If you find any such task, you can modify or delete it as needed.
- If your computer is connected to a network domain and managed by group policies, there might be a policy set to enforce shutdowns at specific times.
- Contact your network administrator to inquire about any policies that might be causing this behaviour.
- Open the Event Viewer by searching for it in the Start menu.
- Look for events around the time you receive the warning. These events might provide more information about what’s causing the shutdown.
- Sometimes, malware or viruses can exhibit unusual behaviour like scheduling shutdowns. Run a thorough malware scan using your antivirus software.
