Windows 10 shutdown without updating

The post certainly doesn't make that clear though. So if the OP was looking for this option, it would make sense. Selecting to 'Update and Shutdown' OR manually installing some updates then manually shutting down often fixes the issue. I've had update that wouldn't install so the system would retry them over and over. It would also make sense if microsoft stopped allowing the computer to shutdown with pending updatesĪlso a reasonable theory but in my experience, 'Install updates and Shutdown' is often more reliable than updating and restating (though it shouldn't be).

That's a reasonable theory but I don't think there's any info 'in RAM' that can't also be stored on a hard drive. As the update is so far reaching there may be no way to complete the process without holding info in ram or some other similar issue with a full power off state.
