My laptop is restarting while I'm away and I can't figure out how to stop it...

On battery power, I have it set to shut off after 30 minutes. That's fine. I have it set to never shut off when plugged in.
The thing is, while I'm at work, it's been restarting about twice a week. This fricks up my ability to stream music via Plex. I'll come home, and the laptop will be on, but on the sign in section. The whole thing started right around the time Windows Action Center popped up. Apparently this has existed for quite a while, but it only just showed up on my Windows 10 laptop about 2 or 3 weeks ago.
Any ideas where else I can go in settings to make sure my laptop never restarts without my saying so?

The most obvious thing where the computer would restart itself is auto updates for Windows. I feel a bit like I'm telling you to jiggle the cable, but have you checked that?

Both my laptop anf desktop recently had an update of Windows 10. Maybe a service pack went out to everyone.

Check the event viewer. Mine was doing that and it was restarting due to crashes caused by a video card driver.
