Windows is a fantastically complex program, and there are literally millions of ways it can go wrong. But one of the most persistent problems over the past few years has been the disconnection issue, which has probably annoyed you at least once, if not several times. In Windows 10 and Windows 11, the shutdown command was interrupted after the update cycle. Looks like this has finally been fixed.
According to list of changes from MicrosoftThe problem may occur after downloading and applying a Windows update and then selecting Update and Shutdown. Instead of shutting down your computer completely, it will reboot (which is also available in this menu). This is a minor headache for desktop users, but a much more pressing problem for a laptop user, who may complete the update process and throw their machine in the bag, only to later find it sitting there preparing itself on the login screen. The optional update includes dozens of other changes, including taskbar customizations and updated Start menu.
The shutdown fix should apply to Windows 11 25H2 and 24H2 versions, and an additional non-security update was released about a week ago. It will be sent out in an optional update starting next week on November 11th. according to the latest version of Windows. This No applies to Windows 10, despite reports of an issue still present on that operating system. I'm sure Microsoft is convincing a lot of people to upgrade. any minute now.
