For a long time both of the computers were connected to the network, but the older Brother HL-3170CDW developed some odd issue with the networking, both wired and wireless. No resets or firmware upgrades fixed that, so I suspect some hardware fault. The USB works, so until I decide to replace...

Well, it's Pro connecting to Home in my case, the Home computer has the USB printer.

That's an issue that very few will stumble over twice! :p :p :LOL:

FWIW, I have a USB printer on my wife's Win11 Home machine upstairs shared, and my Win11 Pro machines find and print to it without any issues. It's a Brother HL-3170CDW BTW. It's network capability died for whatever reason, so I connected it with USB to her computer, but no problem using it...

I don't know what Dender is. ;-) If you mean Defender, why would I do that? Part of using your brain is not doing something stupid.

The best way to stay out of trouble is to use the space between your ears.

For the event logs, I'd look at the latest entries in the System and Application logs, look for the error entries with the red dot, perhaps a screen shot of what you see. It should be very close to the time the machine dies.

In the context of link unfurling, "unfurl=true" indicates that a platform or tool should attempt to automatically expand a URL into a richer, more visually appealing preview. This preview often includes elements like an image, a title, a description, and sometimes even a preview of the content.

Well, I uninstalled it, and a reboot and restart went just fine. I also don't see the errors with the Gigabyte files in event viewer.

The motherboard, memory, and the processor are probably the top suspects. I'd suspect the motherboard first, I've only seen one bad processor in a ton of systems I've worked with, but I've seen a few dead motherboards. Are there any clues in the event logs? Are there any clues in the event...

When I've had those problems, I had to go fix them in Credential Manager. Control Panel, All Control Panel Items, Credential Manager

I uninstalled all the Gigabyte crap, I found multiple people having similar issues with their bloated junk. Quite a few pointed to the exact same module that is being flagged, so I suspect that might be the issue. I'll run a few days and see if a shutdown doesn't hang now.

I didn't think to mention it at first, but then I thought about it.

You may be onto something there, it is complaining about the Gigabyte Control Center, two errors in a row.

I did a DISM and SFC run before I did a shutdown. They found no issues. I do a DISM first to rebuild the image store, then the SFC to fix any of the OS files from the checked image store.
