Just came to leave an image of a cute cartoon penguin, don’t mind me.
But club penguin shut down 8 years ago
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.
I had to disable the power button on my tower. By default, if you click “shutdown” the computer will freak out about the possibility someone might lose work even if nothing is happening but if your cat bumps the physical power button, even in the middle of a game, the whole thing shuts down faster than than those safety table saws that blow themselves up to save your finger.
holds the power button
Next boot: Updating…
First thing in the morning and now you’ve missed your own meeting.
So literally no downside.
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.
Dunno what to tell you, man. Update and shut down always works perfectly for me. It updates, restarts to finish the update, then shuts down. Works every time.
The only thing I can think of is that you’re being impatient and manually shutting he machine down after the restart, instead just letting the OS do its thing.
I’m most definitely not interrupting it, I can go away, do something else, and it will still be on the lock screen after rebooting. I’d then have to click on shut down again.
The only other thing I can think of is that you’re dual-booting and Windows isn’t playing nice with GRUB as usual.
If that’s the case, well then this is why I gave Linux and Windows their own dedicated drives, with a switch installed on my case to physically select the drive. That way they can both have their own bootloaders so Windows can’t get in the way. They’re not even aware that the other OS exists.
Yeah no I’ve never dual booted on these devices.
Windows: would you like to
collect your datapersonalize your system?Options are: Yes, or Ask In 3 days
Where’s the fuck off option M$ ?
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.
This is it. OP is just dumb. “omg it’s restarting when it said it was at less than 100% and I can’t fathom why that would be, I told it to shut down reeeEEEEE”. I used to think this was job security (“my system got corrupted and it’s totally not because I’m an idiot”) but as the years go on I yearn to simply drop filing cabinets on their heads.
no, this used to be the case but i can now guarantee that it (always?) just restarts and stays on the login screen. I’ve had this happen multiple times that i know it’s not a fluke.
X
IT technician here, I have a decade worth of experience dealing with computers and users, using Windows XP, 7, 10 and 11.
I have remoted into user computer on every continent except south America and Antarctica. I have used keyboard layouts from UK, US, DE, DK, NO, FI, FR, ES, NL, SE, TR, JP and probably one or two I have forgotten.
The only time I have seen the behavior described here was when using a third party patching system that fails to unlock bitlocker.
yeah i don’t care about your experience, i care about mine. i literally use the update and shutdown option from the start menu and it consistently ends the process on my login screen after a reboot without shutting down. the fact that you think this isn’t even possible only tells me you’re shit at your job.
Damn, you go straight for the insult?
Not only do you go straight for the insult, but you also make claims that I have said things that I never did.
I never claimed that it was impossible (if I did, quote me on that, and I’ll correct my mistake).
I did add an X to my post to show that I doubted that a normal update did this, which is resonable as I have only heard about this here on Lemmy.
You calling me shit at my job because I haven’t found or heard about an obscure problem tells me that lack the knowledge and skill to make any determination about my job skill.
the X is the insult. I’m telling literally what happens on my own comouter and you’re here like “umm doubt it you probably forgot how to shut down your system after 30+ years”
i refrained from saying fuck off because that’s my normal response to shit like this.
As an IT technician, I have learned that everyone lies, weather they mean to or not, that is the entire reason of the “IT Aura” where shit just starts to work just because IT is watching the user.
You may very well be doing it exactly right, but Microsoft decided to change how that task is done properly, technically still making it a user issue.
The use of “X” was meant as a light hearted way of telling you that I believed something was left out of the explanation, this does not mean that it was done deliberately by you.
Shit happens, I don’t blame you for Microsoft’s incompetence, but I do blame you for your insults, claiming that I am shit at my job because I haven’t seen an obscure issue that could be a normal missunderstanding of the normal update process, is, frankly, fucking stupid.
Going forward, I recommend you to not take memes so litterarly, remember that everyone has haf a different life and experiences, so step back from insults.
Oh, and your “fuck off” paragraph?
I am a resonable person, and never even considered posting that, even after being insulted by you.
