Windows 10 How to identify unexpected shutdown cause(s)

[swvajanyatek]

My brand new lenovo sporadically shuts down at some point after working hours. This happens every 2-3 days, and I can't find any pattern. How do I identify the shutdown cause(s)?


A fresh copy of windows was installed on this laptop on 2/17/21, and I've installed all of the Windows updates as well as the Lenovo System Update / Drivers manager. Everything seems to be up to date.


I found this Critical entry in the event logs, but I'm not sure what to make of it?
