unfortuntely, it's still happening, several times now, though not after every shutdown and start up, and turning the dock on after login.

so there must be some other factor in play that I've not yet figured out.

new diag file is attached

Since you have Visual Studio installed, can you check the process name of the reboot prompt window? To do this:
1. Run Spy++
2. Press Ctrl+F
3. Drag and drop the crosshair pointer on the restart prompt window
4. Click OK
5. In Property Inspector window open Process card and click Process ID link which would reveal the module name.

Thanks
