Just came to leave an image of a cute cartoon penguin, don't mind me.
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
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.
holds the power button
Next boot: Updating...
First thing in the morning and now you've missed your own meeting.
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.
Today could be the day! I bet 90% of Lemmy would at least try to help.
I just did the switch last night! I don’t regret it yet and doubt I will. You should give it a shot.
The switch on the back of the PC is there for a reason!
Update and Shutdown -> go and make tea -> Linux lock screen -> 😐
Windows really dosn't want to be on my system.
Then you should obey its wishes.
Every time! Then the next time you boot windows for some reason, it will finish the updates and then fucking shuts down.
Well, that's a first. The usual way is for Windows to break the Linux install every time it does anything.
*reads this using Linux
Laughs in Linux
Sorry, I had to.
ah yes i remember this frustration before i changed operating systems. now i have a whole bunch of new frustrations but this ain't one of them 😎 i use debian btw
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.
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.
It looks like people do not understand the windows update process where it restarts and then updates some more and shutdown after that.
And here am I, never experienced Windows to "just shut down". It always restarted in the old days when I used to use Windows.
Restarts into Grub which autos to Linux and when I go back to Windows it's all pissy at me.
That's always so annoying, because Windows isn't my default boot entry, so I need to babysit its "totally not a reboot" update.
I somewhat get it - end as much processes as possible, apply everything that is possible, then restart and apply the remainder. My pet peeve is just that it should automatically shut down after applying the updates instead of staying at the lock screen, when I say install and shutdown...
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.
Unpopular opinion: The most-used operating system in the world must automatically apply security updates, eventually even overriding user preference if people never restart.
Right now it’s Windows. If someday it’s Ubuntu, they should do it too. If they don’t, we’d see giant botnets of every computer that people don’t want to update, all compromised by exploits.
To be clear, this doesn’t excuse MS for abusing this update cycle to push shitty products or AI features.
The meme isn’t complaining about auto-updates. The meme is complaining that “Update and Shutdown” doesn’t actually turn off the PC when it’s done updating.
It's not just me?! I thought my PC was buggered
Might as well add regular "shutdown" as an "option" too
?
Update and shut down and they will restart, update, then shut down, restarting is part of the process.
The issue i have is the very, very frequent update. The only time i face this kind of frequent update is with unstable build of software and game, which kinda says a lot about the windows team.
It's that almost every time for me at least on insider build I click update and shutdown. Wake up in morning and PC is on lock screen not shutdown
