Anyone know if this stops the truly diabolical Windows 11 behavior where it removes the options to "Shut Down without updating" and "Reboot without updating?" At some point, the only option to shut down your computer is "Shut Down and update." I've gotten to the point where I just yank the power cord to turn off my computer, because Microsoft doesn't permit any other way.


Good question - I'm still running 10 daily, I'm busy today and only tangentially follow the community - but it is still an issue being tracked:

( it might be resolved via another number - worth checking by d/loading to 11 and checking the hotlink notes in the update tab ... )


I feel like cmd or Powershell will allow a magical incantation to shut the machine down immediately.

Edit: Yes, here we are, in Powershell,

Stop-Computer -Force
