HA!
I was just testing a VR app that has a Windows component when things started failing in VR. I took off my headset and noticed my test machine going through power-on self test.
"Oh crap!", I thought, "a bug caused the system to reboot".
Nope. Just Microsoft deciding it's time to apply some updates. Doesn't matter that I scheduled for a time that I wouldn't be testing.
I've NEVER been able to successfully gain control of this, despite reading up on it and doing all the recommended things.
