Windows 11 restarts on its own when I lock the screen

dewiit · 3. November 2025 um 10:58 Uhr

I have a strange problem. As soon as I lock the screen (using the Windows key & “L”), it works, but after a few seconds (maybe 10 seconds), the laptop restarts. I don't close the screen, I just lock it, as I always did with Windows 10. The same thing happens when the laptop is connected to a docking station.

If it matters, it's an HP ZBook Fury G11 with Windows 11 25H2.

Does anyone know what I could do? It seems like a bug to me, or is there a setting for this? I wonder why anyone would want to set something like that

Thanks in advance!
