@itsfoss there probably is a way to forcibly shut it down from cmd - so much for Linux users being "terminal ≈ hackers"

@itsfoss I think it actually shuts down first and updates later. Not sure - it's been a long time since I've used Windows...

@zstg @itsfoss Actually it's the other way round. It updates first and shuts down after it's done updating.

And if you're very lucky, the computer is still working after the update 😉

@anopka @zstg @itsfoss In my experience, it updates and then restarts no matter which one you pick. 😌

@itsfoss that screenshot must be old. I always get separate options to either just shutdown or shutdown and update.

@itsfoss Is shitposting all that this account is good for? That's all I ever see, at least. I get that this outrage farming gets the most likes, but this petty (and uninformed) self-righteousness is just kind of gross....

@itsfoss update and erase ?!? 😆

@itsfoss Fun fact: “Update and shut down” is a lie. What it does it: Update, reboot, update some more, shut down.

Unfortunately, on my machine the reboot means booting to Linux (unless I interrupt it). So when I try to shut it down and come back later, I have a fully booted Linux machine in the room. When I shut it down and boot Windows again after some time, it boots and immediately shuts down again.

@itsfoss Classic windows, giving you a sleep and two restart options.
And yes, Update and Shut Down has always led to the 'Restarting...' screen since the start of windows 10. They never fixed that.
