    I normally check for exit code 3010 in Configmgr logs and\or eventvwr. The usual logs are execmgr, appexec, smsts, wuahandler, rebootcoordinator depending on the nature of assignments.

    If event viewer will not help you, you could try to identify via appenforce.log from CM client, which was the last app install. I remember also there was some ccm log file showing what updates has been installed, if that is the update which created a restart.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    1,You can check the event log and logs as above suggestions to determine which application/update triggers a device restart.

    2,A little piece of info that might help is there's a column in the console when you're looking at all devices for Pending Restart and it gives you reasons as to why the server/workstation may need a restart. As shown below:

    pending restart column

    Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

    Best regards,

    Simon
