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.
I’ve found that if I click “update and shutdown” and hold the power button it shuts down, the update process is even quicker this way /S
But for real, I’ve been doing this for almost a year now I. Will. Not. Wait. I am going home now
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.
Just came to leave an image of a cute cartoon penguin, don’t mind me.
But club penguin shut down 8 years ago
Update and Shutdown -> go and make tea -> Linux lock screen -> 😐
Windows really dosn’t want to be on my system.
Then you should obey its wishes.
Well, that’s a first. The usual way is for Windows to break the Linux install every time it does anything.
Every time! Then the next time you boot windows for some reason, it will finish the updates and then fucking shuts down.
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.
buttons that don’t work? buttons that do nothing? butrons that lie?? (rhetoric)
Lucky you
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.
Microsoft should be responsible for when I close my laptop and then it starts a fucking fire in my backpack. that shit should have been fixed YEARS ago.
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.
holds the power button
Next boot: Updating…
First thing in the morning and now you’ve missed your own meeting.
So literally no downside.
Oh no, guess we will have to circle back(they were always going to circle back regardless of attendance)
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
i click shut down, close my laptop, then the next day it turns out it never shut down because my pdf viewer was still open
I don’t make it to the next day. I hear the fan running full blast in my bag while it commits seppuku.
mine goes into sleep mode so it doesn’t really make any sound
It’s a corporate laptop, so no telling what it’s trying to do.
probably collecting data about your daily routine
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.
Today could be the day! I bet 90% of Lemmy would at least try to help.
At least after we battled over which distro is best.
Fair point.
Or some BSD?
For beginners?
I just did the switch last night! I don’t regret it yet and doubt I will. You should give it a shot.
Because you have configured it to install updates when you are not using your PC and windows is leveraging a system wake timer. If Linux was configured to do the same it would be no different.
I don’t know about others, but I’ve tried and failed to stop my pc waking from sleep.
At some point, it just stops providing wake reason codes. It just wakes up. The system doesn’t know or tell why.
Hibernation has never failed me, at least.I have a win10 box in a rack under the side part of my desk. I use it super sporadically. I spent a couple minutes turning off the normal culprits but it still turns on randomly. Sometimes by the next morning, sometimes a week later. No rhyme or reason to it. I couldn’t be bothered to figure out what new stupidity MS put in to boot it. It’s plugged into a rack mount power strip at the top of the rack…I just unplug it now.
You can configure it. Whats worse, my current PC actually allows every device to wake up my PC. My old PC didn’t allowed it and only allowed the power button and WoL. You can turn it off for each device (there is no bulk option, thanks MS), but when you plug in a new device… Recently I forgot to unplug my mouse from charging and my PC started right away.
I have no problem that there is this option. Might be handy in the right situation. I have a problem that you can’t configure it easily. But I guess hibernation is something that Devs forget these days. I have a few programs that don’t play along nicely.
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 somewhat get it - end as much processes as possible, apply everything that is possible, then restart and apply the remainder. My pet peeve is just that it should automatically shut down after applying the updates instead of staying at the lock screen, when I say install and shutdown…
it should automatically shut down after applying the updates
Okay, that part it does for me though. That’s extra annoying for you then.
apply everything that is possible, then restart and apply the remainder
Yeah on one hand I get the concept, on the other macOS and Linux manage without, and I don’t really remember older Windows doing this either, so I wonder if there is a real reason why it’s needed, or they just engineered themselves into a bad corner…
ah yes i remember this frustration before i changed operating systems. now i have a whole bunch of new frustrations but this ain’t one of them 😎 i use debian btw
Frustrated with debian? I cannot imagine…
I have been frustrated with myself tho, when i have learned how easy something i was struggeling with was.
It’s not just me?! I thought my PC was buggered
The switch on the back of the PC is there for a reason!
For going between 110V and 220V?
Laughs in Linux
Sorry, I had to.
Restarts into Grub which autos to Linux and when I go back to Windows it’s all pissy at me.
It’s why they remove grub with their own thing during windows updates
Exactly this! Having to wait for the actual update to finish and finally let me select the option in the GRUB menu.
There is an option to default to the GRUB entry you chose last. I didn’t know that either until Manjaro used it.
Will have a look, thanks!
