Idk how it's working for you guys, but I've not once had it actually shut down after clicking update and shut down. It always restarts myb once or twice and finishes at the lock screen, it just doesn't shut down. I always have to manually turn it off after it finishes.
I've found that if I click "update and shutdown" and hold the power button it shuts down, the update process is even quicker this way /S

Yep my work laptop is win11, this happens every time. I just wait till the end of the day, click update and shut down, let the dog out and then give her breakfast (I work nights) then go back and shut down from lock screen.
Meanwhile on my Linux laptop, "downloading critical system files" SUDO shut down, "whatever you say boss" and 10 seconds later it's off.

Windows is so full of stupid little shit that should have been fixed years - if not decades - ago. Sleep mode broken, folder customize options don't apply to subfolders despite offering that choice, the OP. Sigh.
Microsoft should be responsible for when I close my laptop and then it starts a fucking fire in my backpack. that shit should have been fixed YEARS ago.
Set it to hibernate when you close the lid. It's a full shutdown so the sleep timers don't run, but the ram contents are kept, so it's only slightly slower than starting from sleep.
That should be the default, but OEMs are weird.
I switched to Linux and haven't had a problem since
Just came to leave an image of a cute cartoon penguin, don't mind me.
But club penguin shut down 8 years ago
Might as well add regular "shutdown" as an "option" too
Update and Shutdown -> go and make tea -> Linux lock screen -> 😐
Windows really dosn't want to be on my system.
Well, that's a first. The usual way is for Windows to break the Linux install every time it does anything.

I'm amazed at how after 50 years, over 100,000 top-tier software engineers, and $3,500,000,000,000, Microsoft are still so bad at making operating systems.
It's almost as if Capitalist rhetoric about innovation is bullshit.
It's not just me?! I thought my PC was buggered
I wanted to make this meme for the nth time my Lenovo rebooted (and left at the login screen) when I chose update and shutdown
holds the power button
Next boot: Updating...
Windows update fucked up my dual boot. It managed to somehow through a RAM error from the BIOS on every boot. Fuck Windows. I don’t want updates which I don’t even notice.
Why the hell does my PC turn itself on from hibernate when there is an update pending? Fuck you windows.
Going to switch to Linux as soon as I stop being lazy... any day now.
Today could be the day! I bet 90% of Lemmy would at least try to help.

i click shut down, close my laptop, then the next day it turns out it never shut down because my pdf viewer was still open
I don't make it to the next day. I hear the fan running full blast in my bag while it commits seppuku.

That's always so annoying, because Windows isn't my default boot entry, so I need to babysit its "totally not a reboot" update.
