There are options in Windows Update to determine when to reboot which will give you time to save your Notepad texts.

As i haven't seen a AUTORESTART FOR ETERNALITY in my English Windows Update settings, perhaps you should post your problem on a Polish computer help forum.

I have similar 10016 Warnings on this laptop - as nothing seems amiss then I ignore them.
Were there any Errors listed with the time stamp ?

Thanks for the pdf.
It looks like there was some corruption but nothing that is causing the problem.
When it happens again, make a note of the time then open Event Viewer and look for any same time stamped Errors.
Click on Errors then on Show All Instances of This Event in the lower right pane.
Perhaps a driver is playing up.

Yes, those cmds can take some time to complete but as long as they report the have completed successfully and the sfc /scannow reports no integrity violations, then you are usually good to go.
I don't have anything that will let me read your repair doc, but from what you have replied, I think they will be okay.

Open a Command Prompt (Admin) or Powershell (Admin) and enter these cmds -
dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
sfc /scannow
shutdown /r /t 00
The shutdown cmd effects an immediate reboot.
Let me know what the sfc /scannow reports.
Check your machine's performance after the reboot and if there's no change, let me know and I will pass this onto Shane.

Sorry to hear about the health problems at the wedding.
I'm surprised that the offboot sfc /scannow didn't resolve any corruption.
Can you run a cmd prompt as an admin and enter chkdsk /r to see if your HDD is okay.
Primarily you are looking to see if it reports any kbs in bad sectors.
If that comes back clean then I think you may need to perform a factory reset after backing up any personal stuff.

Glad that worked out and thanks for the update.
It's possible that either your antivirus program or something you have installed and is in your Startup menu corrupted the WR install.
In Safe Mode those programs are isolated.

For 3GB you will need a DVD - CDs typically only have a capacity of 700MB.
I've never used rewritable DVDs but I wouldn't think it would matter as long as you have correctly labelled the sleeve for it so as not to reuse.
Hope the wedding goes well.

You will need to create a Win 7 install disk.
You can download and save the 64 bit version from - https://sites.google.com/view/windows7homepremiumisodownload/home and use Imgburn to create the bootable disk - https://imgburn.en.softonic.com/
When that's done, tap F12 as you switch on, insert the disk and follow the prompts to navigate to the Install screen and click on Repair your computer.
Select Command Prompt and enter bcdedit |find "osdevice"
For clarity that is a Pipe symbol before find which is the uppercase of \
Use your Partition letter instead of the X i have exampled and enter -
sfc /scannow /offbootdir=X:\ /offwindir=X:\Windows
When that has completed, remove the install disk and reboot then perform another sfc /scannow to see what it reports.

You can stop the repair program but when it takes that long, something else is usually adrift.
Stop the program then open a Command Prompt (Admin) and enter chkdsk /r
Follow the prompts for it to start on the next reboot.
Primarily you are looking to see if it reports any kbs in bad sectors.
If that comes back clean then enter sfc /scannow
Let me know what each reports.
Enter exit to close the cmd window.

If you have a machine that won't boot, then a Hiren's Boot Disk/USB will get you out of the mire.
This will negate the need for a reinstall.
The standard download is for a DVD but a Google will show you how to put it onto an USB.

I've had a reply from Shane with a workaround -
So once the program is able to connect to the internet the key is good for 7 days before it needs it again. He got it downloaded so if he gets the portable, opens it on a system with a internet connection he can then use it on the system without an internet connection.
Hope this helps.
