Windows NT workstation will halt by default when you get a dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). Changing this setting will force Windows NT to automatically reboot when it crashes instead.
- Open your registry and find the key below.
- Change the value of ‘AutoReboot’ to equal ‘1’ for automatic reboot, or ‘0’ for disabled.
- Exit the registry editor and reboot for the change to take affect. Note: This function can also be enabled from ‘Control Panel | System | Startup/Shutdown | Automatically Reboot’.
This feature is enabled by default on NT server, and disabled on NT Workstation.
