When you install 7.4.4 in Win 10, it should have installed a shortcut in the startup folder. To get to the startup folder, you need to type "shell:startup" in the run command.
If by chance the F@H shortcut is not in the startup folder, just copy and paste to the startup folder from your desktop or drag and drop.

Thanks that did it. When I set it up I didn't want it to start up with windows that's why it wasn't there. Until the last couple weeks my system never restarted itself so it was a non issue but it has the last two weeks and I'm no longer home during the week to restart it.

You must have auto updates turned on for your PC to reboot, I posted a fix here: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/...with-Win10-reboots-in-the-middle-of-the-night to stop updates.

Thanks, if this doesn't fix the issue I'll try that next. So far the two times it did it it was sitting at the login screen when I returned home so I'm going to see if setting auto login and fah to start with windows fixes my problems. I don't really want to kill updates since this isn't a dedicated folding rig. It just seems strange that I've had Win10 since the upgrade was available to me and been folding on it since Feb and never had it do this before.

You could re-enable updates once a month then disable them till next update so you won't get any reboots in the mean time.

I'll see if this works first, I know me and I'll never remember to turn it back on

Thanks for the help, so far so good. It went down on Thursday the last two weeks bit still chugging along so far. I'll check to see if it rebooted and started back up when I make it home.
