The message "You're about to be signed out. Windows will shut down in less than" was created by admin

➡️ The message "You're about to be signed out. Windows will shut down in less than a minute." comes directly from Windows.
It means that Windows has started a shutdown or restart sequence and will log off all users within a minute.? Possible reasons for this message:

Windows Update – an update was installed and the system requires a restart.
Administrator or script triggered
```
shutdown /s /t 60
```
or
```
shutdown /r
```
.
Some service or software (antivirus, RDP session, group policy) initiated the shutdown.
License issue – if Windows is not properly activated, it can sometimes force automatic sign-outs.

? What happens:

After 60 seconds, Windows either shuts down or restarts.
ITVDesk crashes because Windows kills all processes.
That’s why you see the crash and stream interruption.

? To prevent this:

Check Event Viewer → System log around the exact time (it will show the shutdown reason).

Run these commands to see the last shutdown reason:

powercfg -lastwake wevtutil qe System /q:"*[System[(EventID=1074)]]" /c:5 /f:text /rd:true

Disable automatic restarts after Windows Update:

gpedit.msc → Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Windows Update → No auto-restart with logged on users
