Windows 10 Randomly Shuts Down Without Warning Try These Fixes

Does your Windows 10 randomly shut down without warning? You are not alone! So many users experience random shut down without warning and I am one of them.

After further investigations about this issue, this article has been updated. For the first solution, I removed the event log troubleshooting steps. Instead, I provided the steps to remove the application that causes the random shutdowns.

My Dell Laptop has been having this problem for a while. While I am working – in the middle of a task – my Windows 10 Dell laptop randomly shuts down without warning!

Finally, I decided to fix the problem. From my personal experience, the most likely cause for Windows 10 randomly shutting down is a software called "Intel(R) Dynamic Platform Thermal Framework".

This is definitely the case for my Dell laptop. After uninstalling Intel(R) Dynamic Platform Thermal Framework, my laptop stopped random shutdowns.

Based on this, my first recommended fix is to uninstall this program.

I have listed the solutions in order that may potentially fix the problem for you. I strongly recommend that you apply the fixes in the order listed in this guide.
