    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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 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.

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

    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

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

    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.

    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$ ?
