What version of Windows do you use? My desktop uses the latest version of 10 (AFAIK) and the shut down button reads something like "Shut Down and Install Updates" when Windows wants to install an update. I also remember 7 having a little orange icon next to the shut down button when it was going to install an update.
Granted, I don't think there's a way to properly shut down without the update in an I-have-five-minutes scenario. But it does, at least, warn you.
- roblabla 10y agoIIRC there is. You can log out, and then have the option to not apply the updates (you'll have Shut down or update and shut down in the poweroff menu).
- petagonoral 10y agoYou can shutdown without applying updates if you use 'Alt + F4' to initiate shutdown
- knd775 10y agoRunning shutdown -s -t 0 works.
- LoneWolf 10y agoAdd a -f to that too, I have never seen a windows with pending updates install them with "shutdown -s -t 0 -f"
