Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.3155)
My Windows 11 seems to getting into the habit of shutting down the computer on its own accord. A couple of days ago I found it turned off in the morning (I always put it to sleep for the night) which had never happened before. And just now, while the incremental backup was running and I was trying to find out why this seemed to be slowing down the computer even more than usual, the screen went black and the computer was powered off. After reboot I checked the Event logs and I did see some errors and warnings but none that made any sense to me. The event logs are so crammed with incomprehensible messages of every kind that it is impossible to decide whether they had any relation to a given problem. I'm pretty sure the CPU wasn't overheating because I know from experience that I'd smell that.. I am currently on 22H2 (OS Build 22621.3447)

Any ideas ? This worries me some 🤔

It would make more sense to the members that could help you with this if you actually attached the event logs you’re concerned about.

Good point !
I have created a custom view of the Application and System logs (the only two that looked interesting) of the last 7 days, and uploaded that to my homepage: https://home.caiway.nl/~cbreemer/custom.evtx
I noticed that some of the events showing an Error icon have a completely innocuous description, e.g. "Starting server..."

Thanks for you suggestions ! Running the V2 Log Collector is not trivial though. I first needed to enable script execution in Group Policy, then remove the __PSLockdownPolicy environment variable to get around Constrained Language Mode. Now that something is finally happening I get this

Being a PowerShell noob, I am kind of lost now...

EDIT --- Despite the above error it seems to have completed the task. I have uploaded the zip to Google drive:

@zbook, many thanks for having a look and providing these suggestions. Much appreciated ! This will take some time to follow up, there's lots of stuff here I am unfamiliar with.

If there were files missing in the V2 zip file, I guess that must be because of the error it gave:

Code:
AuthorizationManager check failed.
    + CategoryInfo          : SecurityError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnauthorizedAccess

I tried running the shortcut as administrator, only to get another error:

Code:
& : The term '.\resources\main.ps1' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable
program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:2
+ &'.\resources\main.ps1'
+  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (.\resources\main.ps1:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Any ideas on how to make the V2 run without errors ?
