Windows doesn't restart, it bluescreens. (Well generally)
Overheating is normally not a problem anymore, with all safety mechanisms that are built in to the processors nowadays.
But it's still probably hardware related.
You're a hardware guy, it's time to vacuum the cooler and the fan just in case, check that the fan rotates properly (eventually give it a drop of oil), check all the contacts etc.
Run the bios self test.
I haven't seen this type of problem for many years though, and last time it was a faulty MB.

Its a company laptop, so tempting...

You know it is.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned this yet (although I've only read the first responses to your posting; I didn't dig deeper into the thread).
Don't forget that nowadays, when Windows blue-screens, it automatically reboots without pausing at the BSOD itself (MS in its infinite wisdom has decided a while back that very few people can read or do anything about what's shown in the BSOD text, so why leave it on at all when it's shown)...
I find that to be a more likely explanation (bad driver?) than the update service deciding on its own to reboot immediately without giving you any warning whatsoever. And I'm saying this as someone who has no end of complaints about update prompt options.
For Win10 20H2: Start, Settings, System, About, Advanced System Settings (on the right side), then Settings (inside the Startup and Recovery groupbox), and see the state of the "Automatically restart" checkbox. If you uncheck it, and it happens again, you should be able to confirm this was indeed the reason. Hard to tell in hindsight however.

Ah but the machine is SO locked down, you have to be an admin. For instance I had too fight with off shore IT to get to see CP, I haven't logged into ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) yet as that will casue 'issues'. So I post from home!

Gotcha. I thought this was a system you had control over. You have my sympathy. I'm not sure what to suggest...I suspect that even if you asked them to make an exception, they'd want you to justify it. Not sure how receptive they might be.

The dang thing has a mind of it's own, plus to do my job and get files I needed I have to beg some one to download and email them to me (as my ID got messed up, I give a better explanation of what happened above). After trading emails today I have placed an axe next to laptop, for reasons that defy explantion it has started to work?

Sometimes you have to threaten a system for it to work.

I have to learn, so I am posting my progress here:
Launch retrograde : Throw - worth / Start - strat /
by holding - within ?
the northeastern - NE
waypoint - definition ?
|
|
|
|
|
I will add mine...
retrograde : Back/Throw
by holding - (in between)
the northeastern - NE
waypoint - WP/P/LL/XY
Nowhere though.

Any idea if the feint bird (looks like a heron / ibis) in the CCC is meant to be a hint or not?

hmmm... the wording/grammar seems off... perhaps should be one of the following:
Launch retrograde held by northeastern waypoint.
Northeastern waypoint holds launch retrograde.

Yeah,
When I write these I generally make several of them and choose whatever I perceive will be the most difficult. Your first recommendation was in my list verbatim. I discarded it because it looked like it would be solved too quickly.
I did an anagram too:
Reverse entry was manipulated.(8)

I was no where near to what your solution was to CCC of the day! 
Didn't knew the word either.

Don't want a long cricket thread (if it gets converted to) but felt like sharing here about a great test match and the series that came to an end.
India loosing the first test (with one of the innings being 36 all out) to India winning the series scoring 300 odd runs chasing in final test. Simple awesome!
Great game of cricket!

I was never a great cricket fan, but watching a few matches last summer I realised how exciting it can be. Well done India (I have to support my country of birth).
