    Why does this happen

    Did you actually have a power failure?
    or is that a guess?

    Probably wasn't because my DAB radio which is always on in the
    background stayed on.

    What do you have it playing channel wise ?
    1990s hits

    With a power failure it stays off.

    Perhaps it was something to do with an upgrade.

    Yep, that's what did it and you can confirm it
    by checking the log to see that it did an update

    Why does this happen and how can it be prevented?

    Just rearrange them beck where they came from. Simples.

    ˙Doesnt stop it happening again, fuckwit pom

    Who cares? It's trivial to do
    ˙Depends on how you want them organised and only a
    fuckwit pom would keep doing that every time it happens.

    It happens so rarely on my machines,

    It never ever happens on any of mine

    it just isn't worth bothering with.

    Your mileage may vary if you don't know how to look after your system.

    Must be why it never ever happens on any of mine

    You wouldn't admit it even if it did.
