Sometimes. I've had this happen more times than I can say and sometimes there's a warning, sometimes not.
I often have stuff gnarly stuff open that I'm working on for days. A debug session running, docs I'm trying to update, a couple of remote sessions, and VSCode open in the middle of a horrible refactoring session. Sometimes you just can't break up tasks into smaller tasks because of how they all relate to each other so I just barrel through with the whole thing.
Usually Windows threatens to reboot - to which I say "oh no you don't". And sometimes Windows just...reboots.

I've been avoiding Windows client OSes (11/10/8.x/7/go back as far as you want) and stick with Windows Server just for that purpose. After all, a server OS should never reboot on its own, no matter the circumstances.
Well, Microsoft has proven me wrong on more than one occasion. I've posted about it here in the lounge. Then some people had the audacity of blaming me for giving the okay to install updates but then let it wait for my approval for the actual reboot. I've always done this in prior decades. At some point that behavior, even on server OSes, has changed.

(obviously, it should not do that)
but, you should be able to reset your environment if something bad happens.

I have been there. I share your pain.

Have you considered Platform IO in the alternative? It runs in VS Code so you get sweet sweet intellisense, and the project management is just so much better.
Some of my IoT code - like my graphics library - won't even compile in the Arduino IDE without digging around in the bowels of its application toolchain configuration to tweak settings. It's a mess.
I mean, I don't judge you for what you decide to use in any case, but from experience I can say that Platform IO increased my productivity by a huge amount and made my projects cleaner and easier for other people to check out from github. With Arduino IDE dependent libs must be installed manually, and are shared between all projects, making GitHub use a mess.
I still use Arduino IDE occasionally, because the latest Arduino framework bits come out for it before Platform IO, and it's still okay for really quick and dirty tests but it's a toy.
Anyway, I'm only posting this in case you hadn't heard of it. There's a trick to installing it on windows:
Install python first, making sure to add it to your PATH. Then, log out of windows or reboot, and finally install Platform IO IDE extension in VS Code. Do it in that order. Also, the first time you make a project, it has to download the toolchain so it will take quite a bit of time, but it's a one time thing.

My tactic was to take the shell off and make them a little lighter and quicker. But instead they became more sluggish.

A snail without a shell is like a horse without a jockey.
