I had what I thought was a complete system crash last night while playing Diablo IV, making me worry my workaround of limiting the game's framerate wasn't as effective as I thought. Then I realized this was one of those insane reboots Windows 10 will arbitrarily execute to apply an update. I know there are third-party tools to fight this, but it doesn't seem right to require extraordinary effort to take control of such a situation. I'm frustrated by this, though not as much as I would have been if the reboot came just minutes earlier, which would have ruined my participation taking down the World Boss.

Honestly, from what you have described it sounds to me like you're having hardware issues. Typically, (in my experience as a tech), heating (cpu fan, gpu fan), bad memory, video card failing. Less often, the PSU is insufficient (wattage, failing). Very rarely, the gpu and/or memory pins need cleaning (clean pencil erasor). How is the airflow?

BTW, Windows 11 is fine for gaming. If you're worried about privacy and ads, consider something like bloatynosy.
