Next boot: Updating...

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.

Then you should obey its wishes.

Lucky you

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'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

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.

I think it depends from the motherboard. My 8th gen Intel Lenovo always update and reboot (and get to the lock screen) when I say update and shutdown while a gigabyte 6th gen Intel always update and shutdown (one reboot during the update install)

And if you dual boot and have Linux set as main, "update and shutdown" means "reboot to Linux"

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 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.

Today could be the day! I bet 90% of Lemmy would at least try to help.

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.

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.

I don't make it to the next day. I hear the fan running full blast in my bag while it commits seppuku.

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.

But club penguin shut down 8 years ago

And here am I, never experienced Windows to "just shut down". It always restarted in the old days when I used to use Windows.

It's that almost every time for me at least on insider build I click update and shutdown. Wake up in morning and PC is on lock screen not shutdown

Is once a month "very, very frequent"?
