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.

[–] RouxBru@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

Just came to leave an image of a cute cartoon penguin, don't mind me.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

But club penguin shut down 8 years ago

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.

[–] trollblox_@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Blass_Rose@pawb.social 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 44 points 5 days ago

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.

Update and Shutdown -> go and make tea -> Linux lock screen -> 😐

Windows really dosn't want to be on my system.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Well, that's a first. The usual way is for Windows to break the Linux install every time it does anything.

Then you should obey its wishes.

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 days ago

Every time! Then the next time you boot windows for some reason, it will finish the updates and then fucking shuts down.

[–] Pyrarrows@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, it is at least in part how many linux distros configure Grub, it can be set up to boot the last selected OS, which I think should be the default... I changed it on all of my dual boot systems, though I haven't been using Windows all that much lately, so it hasn't been all that big of a deal for me.

I just wish that Windows hadn't changed the default update config to restart no matter which option is selected, since it makes that situation soooo much more annoying.

Windows: would you like to ~~collect your data~~ personalize your system?

Options are: Yes, or Ask In 3 days

Where's the fuck off option M$ ?

First thing in the morning and now you've missed your own meeting.

[–] Sciaphobia@sh.itjust.works 16 points 5 days ago

So literally no downside.

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.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Today could be the day! I bet 90% of Lemmy would at least try to help.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 5 days ago (4 children)

At least after we battled over which distro is best.

I just did the switch last night! I don’t regret it yet and doubt I will. You should give it a shot.

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

[–] lemming741@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I don't make it to the next day. I hear the fan running full blast in my bag while it commits seppuku.

The switch on the back of the PC is there for a reason!

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

For going between 110V and 220V?

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

It's not just me?! I thought my PC was buggered

Laughs in Linux

Sorry, I had to.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 7 points 4 days ago

Might as well add regular "shutdown" as an "option" too

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 16 points 5 days ago

*reads this using Linux

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

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

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Restarts into Grub which autos to Linux and when I go back to Windows it's all pissy at me.

I have never had my computer completely restart after selecting "Update and shutdown", sure, it will reboot once or twice during the update cycle, but it has always ended with a full shutdown.
