When you finish your work for the day and prepare to shut down the computer, you see two new options in the power menu.Update and shut down, update and restart, prompting you that Windows needs to be patched. You will most likely choose to update, shut down, and leave, but when you go to the company the next day, your computer is stuck on the login screen!
You start to doubt yourself, did you order something wrong yesterday?
If this has happened to you, you are not alone.
This is a bug that exists on Windows 10. It has existed for a full 10 years and has not been fixed.
Until the recent Windows 11 24H2/25H2 Build 26200.7019!
latest numberKB5067036The patch finally fixed this stubborn bug, but Microsoft did not explain what happened and why it took so long to fix it. It simply said:
"Fixed an underlying issue that caused Update and Shutdown to not actually shut down your computer after updating."
In fact, it is not difficult to guess the reason, because updating and shutting down are actually two tasks. First, update the patch, and then shut down the computer.
However, Windows updates almost always require restarting the computer to replace some occupied system files. However, after restarting, you cannot log in to the computer and continue the update, so it stops at the login interface.
Even if you set up automatic updates, the system can continue to update patches after restarting, but it will not shut down by itself.
