What just happened? Again . . .

Sudden black screen followed by full re-boot. i.e., it calls on the start items. BUT, it then goes back to the exact item I was reading. (This time, Pprune.)

If it was, like some years ago on an older PC, a capacitor near the CPU, it wouldn't reboot. Indeed, it would I hope, offer Normal start etc., but now a smooth return to where I was.

Plus, on restart, it says something like 'Getting your PC ready'. Surely, MS wouldn't just crash your system mid keystroke . . . would they?

Can I seek the information from some kind of event list? That's a bit beyond my scope, normally, but this has happened half a dozen times, so must be addressed.
