How do I stop the windows server from shutting down at 7:00 pm?

Question

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.

I've tried to research the problem myself and every "solution" I've implemented has failed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

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 behavior.

---

• 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 behavior like scheduling shutdowns. Run a thorough malware scan using your antivirus software.
