It sounds like your DX4WIN.CFG file is being corrupted during the
shutdown.  Set your Microsoft updates to download ONLY, but don't
update until you choose to (it's one of the options).  You'll get a
reminder icon in the system tray (bottom right) telling you there are
new updates. You can then shut down DX4WIN cleanly, perform the
update, then re-start DX4WIN after rebooting (if required).

I have been updating Windows this way and my computer has NEVER
spontaneously rebooted, unless we had an extended power outage where
the UPS shut things down.
