    Generally, this kind of restart is triggered by the auto Windows Update.

    You may kindly go through the following Microsoft reference:

    @Simpleb1n-8456
    Hi,
    Based on my research, if this problem is not triggered by automatic updates, it may be a power issue.
    Your battery backup has the ability to send a shutdown command if it senses its charge is low. If the battery in that device is failing or its controller is malfunctioning, it could be forcing a shutdown.
    That effectively eliminates all software causes. The issue seems to be load sensitive, you'll find it triggers more consistently with a heavier wattage draw.

    Also, you could disable RuntimeBroker.exe via Registry Editor.

    Note: Make sure that you back up the registry you modify it.

    Press Windows + R, type regedit and ok to open windows registry editor,
    Backup registry database and navigate to the following registry on your computer:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TimeBrokerSvc “Start”=dword:00000003

    Here double click on the registry which is known as “Start” and change its value data from 3 to value data 4.
    Once you have disabled the runtime broker process from the Windows registry editor, Restart your Windows computer.

    Hope above information can help you.
