If Shutdown Event Tracker is enabled and your computer is restarted or shut down without a user entering a reason, the first member of the local Users group to log in after the restart is prompted to enter a reason for the event.
Membership in the local Users group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.
 | Document the reason for an unexpected restart or shutdown of the local computer |
Select a reason from the Why did the computer shut down unexpectedly drop-down list.
If your organization uses a trouble ticketing system, you can enter a Problem ID to help your system administrator track the issue.
If a comment is required for the reason you selected in Step 1, you must enter text in the box before you click OK.
When you have finished entering information, click OK.

-
As a best practice, use standard reasons when recording information in Shutdown Event Tracker. This makes it easier to review historical trends.
