Myself, amongst thousands of others are having this problem.  Message "Your device has developed a problem and needs to restart"

All sorts of suggestions re the cause are offered but none of them work. e.g Try one of the many software fixes "Guaranteed to work" at a price.  None of them do.

Quite simple.  Microsoft product is the problem.  It is not your hardware, memory  or other hardware issues.  IT IS MICROSOFT.

Micro$oft follows the pattern established by the Star Trek movies (original series cast), where they alternate good versions of Windows with poor versions.  I will be sticking with Windows 10, of course even though my computer is not that old M$ says my computer does not meet the stringent requirements for Windows 11 and I would have to buy another computer, so I don't really have a choice.  Yep, I'll be sticking with Windows 10 until M$ figures out that Windows 11 has too many issues to adequately address and releases Windows 12.

Dunno about this.. My Window 11 laptop has been working perfectly for the last two years, without a crash.

Most issues, I have found, care caused by hardware.. human fingers!

Not hardware issue, proven by many who know what they are doing.

Peculiar way to start a thread. You have an issue and conclude it's definitely Windows' fault, because other people have a restarting issue. What's the technical conclusion that your issue is identical? With Windows, you can create and live in a very confined confirmation bias bubble because every issue under the sun has been reported on the internet, because it's an operation system used on millions upon millions of computers. I can find thousands of threads with people who have restarting issues, doesn't mean the issues are automatically the same. Did you want help or just have a moan at Microsoft? There's no widespread currently reported restart issue.

The message you report is part of a “Blue Screen Of Death” (BSOD) situation, which in recent versions of Windows has become more “user friendly” in terms of providing information.

A BSOD is almost always (99.9 percent of the time) a hardware issue. Where are these “thousands” of reports coming from?

I have been running Win 11 for three years on three different computers at home, and none of them has ever had a BSOD, except on one occasion, which was caused by a failing RAM stick.

 I work for a very large corporation which has tens of thousands of Win 11 PCs deployed worldwide  In my department alone there are 37 desktop and laptop PCs, many of which run 24/7, and not one has ever had a spontaneous BSOD that was not clearly hardware related.

You speak of people “who know what they are doing”. We have our own in-house corporate IT rep who has worked for the company for over 24 years. He has previously worked for corporate departments that have hundreds of computers. He is a friend of mine. I just texted him and asked if “BSODs caused by the OS” are a wel-known issue with Win11 machines and he replied, “Absolutely not - it’s always hardware”.

He is certainly in a position to know.

Many Win 11 PCs are configured by default to simply restart instead of displaying the BSOD screen when there has been a hardware crash.

There are any number of hardware issues that can trigger a BSOD. Power supply (PSU) problems, unstable overclocks, failing or overheating CPUs or GPUs or RAM memory faults (which are probably the most common cause). It is not caused by a lurking bug in Win 11 itself that “MICROSOFT” has to fix.

So, what is it? Thousands or hundreds??
