I’ve honestly never had my PC restart itself after an update if I chose ‘update and shutdown’

Went through a phase a few months back where even plain old “shutdown” came back to me as a restart. Cleared up of its own accord. I don’t have the time I used to for investigations and reinstallations.

I vaguely remember reading something somewhere that update and shut down is actually meant to install updates while shutting down, restart to complete updates, and then shutdown fully once the restart is complete. So that your next restart is seamless and you’re not waiting for updates to finish installing.
If that’s correct, I’m guessing the final shutdown phase is interrupted either by the user or by another program.
Or I’m completely wrong, idk!

It restarts the. Shuts down after a bit. Do people have the attention span of a gnat?

This is why I leave my windows updates until the next morning. Then I can actually update and restart right after I get out of bed and while waiting make my breakfast, brush my teeth etc

It is supposed to restart one or more times to complete the next stages of updates, them shut down after it’s done.

Wow thought I was going crazy every time I’ve done big updates. 99% of the time I’m sure my PC did the opposite to what I asked

Mine is:
Me: Sleep
PC: OK, good night!
Also PC: Hehehe, I’m going to wake up in the middle of the night to do this update, THEN restart.

I’ve never had this problem.

Because you’re using Windows.

It just restarts once to install the update and then shuts down… It needs to do this to properly install the update. Just shut up and stop complaining.

Me with janky AM5: Update and restart
My pc: updates, tries to reboot, never posts, needs to be manually turned off and on again

Linux users ask what a reboot is.
Are you clicking the wrong button?
