Solved Windows 10 Reboots

@WrCombs The amount of time (read: money) spent on trying to fix this isn't worth it anymore. I am guessing a new computer could have been paid for shortly.
I seriously doubt it. Clearly there is nothing more pressing for @WrCombs to work on, otherwise the boss would have him move on - or drive out and fix it it right.
It's also likely that the customer is paying a monthly support fee, not an hourly one, otherwise the customer might complain about a $1000 bill to 'fix' a computer compared to wipe and reload.

At what point is your company upside down in that maintenance contract? If you have put in x number of hours working on it, that has to surpass what they are paying eventually.

we only do that for "programming" new items.

That is of course true - but there are many factors to look at. @WrCombs is likely hourly paid, and also likely ensured 40 hours per week. So assuming there isn't other work to be done, then the company would just be paying him to sit there and do nothing (of course he should never be doing nothing, he should be working in a lab building his skills - sadly the boss doesn't see the value in that versus spinning his wheels fixing this issue).
Until there is something that the boss deems as more valuable to the company, the boss will likely make @WrCombs keep working on it, at least until the customer demands a change.

I have a lab for the new system (since it's cloud based, I dont need an actual "hardware lab" to work on the new skill. which is what I've been working on off and on and in between calls for the last 2 days.
Today i got a vm from the customer asking for an update.
hence why im working on it now.' -
Really trying to figure this one out.
IDK where to look. -

IDK where to look.Uninstall everything in the apps list except what you KNOW is needed for the application to work.
If the problem continues - kindly inform your boss that you are at an educational end, your searching of Google will likely not provide any further solutions, and instead be yourself spinning your wheels instead of you spending time in the company (online) lab learning new better ways to help the company earn money by fixing other problems faster.
The fastest way to likely fix this machine is to rebuild it. if the problem continues after that, it's likely either a sabotaging client or bad hardware.
-
All that said - it likely is some crazy setting in some piece of software that got flipped, that if found, could/would solve the issue.
The problem is you don't know where to look for it. You're not a developer, so likely you have no way to enabling logs for all of the software running on the machine to see if that software is causing the issue or not, etc, etc, etc...

i've never seen a windows update as a program .
I now know that it's safe and is there to upgrade the system more quickly if we say for it to do so. -

Usually when you download an individual update and install from what I've seen.

Someone is paying him to do this. Since it is a maintenance contract, I am surprised that his boss hasn't intervened enough to resolve it.
