Random rebooting
Several users have stated that they’re randomly receiving a “your PC will automatically restart in one minute” message, causing users to scramble and save their work as soon as possible. And if they’re not at their PC? Say goodbye to any work done without a cloud-saving feature. Microsoft updated the KB4560960 documentation (opens in new tab), warning about the issue by stating that “The Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) file (lsass.exe) might fail on some devices.” Users will likely encounter an error message stating “A critical system process, C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe, failed with status code c0000008. The machine must now be restarted." Unfortunately, there still isn’t a fix, but according to the documentation, “Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.” As a gamer, it’s hard to ditch Windows 10 for anything else, but if you’re not a gamer, you might want to consider picking up a MacBook or Chromebook, depending on your lifestyle. We recommend attempting to uninstall both the KB4557957 and KB4560960 updates if you run into this issue.
