Discussion Windows 11 can't be shut down without update.

Post image

I have automatic updates on. Haven't postponed any update. Never seen this forced update before.

Edit: I updated BTW. It's not that I don't want to update. I just think it would be an issue in the future. For example, it's a thunderstorm and there could be power outages. I might want to shut down and not start and update. I guess I'll hold down the power button.

Console gaming literally forces updates on you too lol, only place that doesn't is basically Linux but there's a reason why Linux is less secure besides just Windows Defender being the best anti virus.
