If you ever tried the infamous “Update and shut down” option in any Windows build, it often leads to a reboot instead to an actual shutdown. Now, Microsoft has finally fixed this issue starting with Windows 11 25H2 Build 26200.7019 (or 26100.7019 on 24H2). According to the Windows Latest, Microsoft has shipped this broken functionality way back with Windows 10, and has never fixed it since. However, the Windows teams working behind the update have finally managed to ship a working solution with a note stating in Windows 11 experiences that the new build: “Addressed underlying issue which can cause “Update and shutdown” to not actually shut down your PC after updating.”
So it actually was a bug. All these years I gaslit myself I was too tired, too high or maybe just missclicked this time. That’s actually funny. How fucking incapable is Microsoft xd?
Haha same. There’s been times I woke up to find my PC on when I was sure I had turned it off, so figured I must have forgot.
Good timing. The straw the broke the camel’s back before switching to Linux two months ago was watching my PC reboot after “update and shutdown” and saying “I shouldn’t have to deal with this!”
“Too little, too late”
For me it was not being able to keep a homebridge VM from crashing. Threw it on Debian and it hasn’t gone down once. Dual booting for now but I’m moving everything over. The final piece was seeing how fast Debian copies files. It’s instant most of the time. Made me realize that the “nice” speed dialog is literally just show and slowing down the functionality by quite a bit. What a pig.
Yeah if you copy files from the command line it’s so much faster.
Maybe one day they’ll fix applications on the task bar not focusing when you click on them, don’t get confused here, these are applications already open and in the background but clicking the icon on the taskbar occasionally does nothing until you manually bring it to the foreground.
Wild this is a billion dollar company.
So that’s not just me! I’ve also had Alt+Tab get stuck showing all windows and not move to the selected one lately. Gahhh.
I don’t think windows is how they make most of their money
Can they fix the “randomly turn itself back on and drain the battery while in its bag so that it’s always dead when you actually need to use it on the go” problem?
Because that’s been a problem for like 20 years at this point and means I have to treat my laptops as if they don’t actually have batteries because it’s schrodinger’s power any time I pull one out to work.
I was at a conference this week, and half the attendees were huddled in the cafeteria the whole time because there were some tables on one wall with outlets.
Had a friend who used to put his super-workstation laptop in his backpack. It would randomly turn itself back on and get HOT in there at times, like firestarter hot.
Yep. And since I carry 3 laptops in my backpack (2 for work and one personal), it’s a problem.
Though I will say the fact that all 3 can be powered by Type-C cables has been since huge life improvement since i don’t need to carry around 3 different charging bricks.
It’s probably because your computer has quick boot turned on which isn’t actually fully shut off. More like a deep hibernate which can still receive magic packets that can turning it on for updates and such. If it’s a work laptop it’s almost certainly because your work has set up so it wakes up when they push an update. It’s more of an issue with how your work has set up group policies. You can turn off magic packets in advanced network settings if you have admin access to your computer, which you may not if it’s a company laptop.
maybe next they can work on making shut down actually shut down too, instead of me coming back three hours later to the remainders of a poor attempt
It might be your hardware. I just migrated from a Ryzen 5 laptop (with much better battery life than its Core i5 cousins in the office) to a new Core Ultra laptop and the difference in shutdown time is striking. Mostly because it actually shuts down all the spreadsheets and office BS I have open while the Ryzen one would hang. I normally don’t like Intel chips but this generation seems to be pretty good. Could be RAM too. Old laptop had 24GB, new one has 32GB.
Wow Microsoft have actually introduced the one and only reason to update to Windows 11.
For now. In due time, they will have some regression much like how Windows always breaks down and makes me cry.
A couple years ago I had a windows update lead to an error message that says no device drivers found. Tried installing windows again, still says that shit. I downloaded all the available drivers. Strange how I had drivers and then suddenly not. Linux working good though.
How convenient that windows 10 support is over. They probably had the fix and waited to ensure more people downgrade to 11
dude my win10 install at work has been getting seemingly exponentially more glitchy in the past month or two. it seems intentional at this point
Too little too late. Shit like this would not fly in an open OS and is they were only able to do it that long, as they give a shot about customer demands. Fuck these proprietary software! Never again will i be held back by corpo software!

Furthermore, what do two different mobile OS have to do with a desktop one?

Don’t defy the echo chamber lest you desire the down votes!
I thought that they were joking, as stuff like this also happens in open software and can take ages to fix (if it’s even kept up to date for a lot of niche software), and most of us use SOME sort proprietary software even if there’s a bigger % of open source enthusiasts on Lemmy.
That’s why the Android/iOS comment was even more out of place.
But then again, this is Lemmy…it might have been literal…
One reason why it’s trash, tackled. A million more to go. Can’t wait to see their progress in 2036
More bugs, less fixes.
Right, so they wait until just after Windows 10 reaches EOL to release the patch for this annoying bug. Typical. They’ve probably had the solution ready for ages.
Oh, this was a general issue? It was driving me crazy as I was certain I hit “shut down” instead of “reboot”. I am soon getting a Linux laptop at work anyway (I’ve only been waiting about 5 montha for it now, so any day now!) - so I will hopefully not experience this fix.
I wish I would have had that issue instead. What happened for me was that it would shut down like normal, but then I would get a BSOD on startup, have to restart the computer, reinstall the update, and manually choose restart again (it had to be from the startup menu, not from a windowed program) to actually get it installed.
