Been following this, sadly with nothing to suggest. But I did notice this in a recent post from Fauxpas, which at the least needs clarification because it is a bit ambiguous.not intentionally I am sure! The bit that caught my eye was " So, the original had Win 10 installed from the beginning. My out of the box original install was Win 10, kept updated, etc. " Now this could refer to a recent 1709 ISO from MS, in which case false alarm, but it could refer to an older version such as a boxed CD version 1703 but with all updates to present. If the latter then I suggest that therein lay at least some of the problems. The only other thing of course is the usual , make sure it has the latest chipset and radeon drivers, installed in the right order. One more item: I have found that the various powerplans can have a effect, I now choose performance and it seems to cure many annoying issues. Then again, I am on a different build, so may not apply universally.

Sorry for any confusion. I will clarify (hopefully).
On my prior PC (super old) I had Windows 10. I made a Win 10 USB install via Win Media Creation Tool.
Cut to scene two, early Dec after Black Friday sales, all new parts arrive for all new PC! Included in this pile of parts is a 100% blank, new, 1TB WD HD. Upon putting all my new components together for my all new PC, I proceeded to install windows on that shiny, new, completely blank HD. I used the USB, then did all updates etc.
That HD was subsequently wiped multiple times, and Windows 10 was again reinstalled via USB (from a new USB actually, but still using same procedure w/Windows Media Creation Tool) and updated appropriately. Shut downs continue.
Then came the SSD - new from the store - plugged in by itself, Win 10 installed from yet ANOTHER new USB (using the same Windows Media Creation Tool).
I have never had a boxed CD version of Windows.
Regarding the power: When I first put together everything on the new computer, I was using the default power plan. Upon my first few shut downs, I changed to the "performance" power plan. After more shut downs, I downloaded the AMD chipset drivers for the "AMD balanced power plan", which is what I have it set to currently. There have been no changes in the frequency of my shut downs with any of those power plans.
