Great, this is actual progress. Now it would be amazing if "Update and Shut Down" would actually update and shut down, instead of doing so like 50% of the time with the other 50% just updating and restarting with an actual shut down. (This is on various very diverse machines so I'm rather sure is common, and not just an interaction with a particular machine).

It's baffling that a company like MS can leave this kind of obvious problems lingering for months.

They recently acknowledged and fixed this issue. I can personally confirm it hasn't happened to me since the update.

Great to know. I would say that it happened to me more recently but it may have been in machines that had been unused for some months and ran an old version.

According to the link, it "only" took them 5 years to solve the bug. Better late than ever though, I guess :)

This behaviour really trumped me when I was working on a friends Windows-11 PC on the new year. My Family Big-Home PC (> a decade old) still has Win-10 since it cannot upgrade, so I was confused at WTF was happening. I could not believe Microsoft had actually broken this.

For me it never updates and shutdown. It always just updates and restarts.
