Don’t tell me that you never faced a single unprompted shutdown or reboot of your computer system. Due to the failure of hardware or software or both, every computer user has to face this problem at least for once in a time. This can be neglectable until it happens daily or too frequently.

Possible reasons that may cause the problem of ‘Computer randomly shuts off’
- Issue with the Operating System

- Problem with the power supply (UPS)
Whenever I have Deezer open on my computer no matter if I am playing music or it is paused by myself manually my computer does not automatically go to sleep, only when I fully close Deezer does my computer automatically go to sleep. I have tested this many times myself so yeah, it's an issue. I am not suggesting a sleep timer by the way.
Hello, On my new iPhone SE 2020 Deezer stops playing when the screen locks (sleeping mode). This only happens when I’m using AirPlay to a Denon receiver. When I’m using my earplugs, the phones speakers or any other Bluetooth device everything is okay. My other iOS devices (and my old iPhone) don’t h. What's sleep mode? It's in the 'lab' tab in settings. I have the same issue, set the amount of time to sleep and it cancels as soon n as you come out of the screen and go back in, there is no setting in audio settings either after setting it in labs.
We can’t say which thing causes this shutdown issue on your Windows 10 system, so we can only apply some tricks and then hope not to face the issue again.
