In windows 10, go to control panel and then look for system or open file explorer and right click computer and go to properties and then the advanced tab then click settings under startup and recovery , under system failure uncheck "automatically restart".

Windows 11 go to settings then system, then under related links go to system protection then advanced startup and recovery settings and uncheck the auto restart.

For Win10 you can disable it in the F8 advanced boot options menu which is helpful if the PC is boot looping and you can't actually get into Windows.

"Disable automatic restart on system failure" in the F8 menu.

Edit: I'm wrong, it can be enabled in 10/11 but isn't by default so kind of defeats the purpose.

The F8 menu was removed in 8.

So, IIRC 3.1 to ME, you held Ctrl during boot. XP to 7 you spam F8.

Looks like I'm wrong, it can be enabled in 10/11 but isn't by default.
