Quick Tip: Easily Shutdown or Restart WITHOUT Installing Updates.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that has been in the situation of needing to shutdown a computer quickly, but there are updates waiting to install. Previous to Windows 8 you could at least restart without being forced to install the updates, and if you are quick you could hit the power button when the computer begins to POST and the computer will turn off. With Windows 8, now even restarting forces you to install the updates. You could use the cmd and Shutdown.exe to shutdown the machine, but I'm getting old and try to avoid the command prompt as much as possible.

Anyway, the easy way I've found to Shutdown or Restart without being forced to install the updates is to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and use the power button in the bottom right on the screen that comes up. For whatever reason, this power button is the only one I've found in Windows 7/8 that gives the option to Shutdown or Restart without installing the updates.

Thought I'd share.

 

Quick Tip: Easily Shutdown or Restart WITHOUT Installing Updates.

For some reason OP's idea didn't work for me. Yes, the 3-finger salute brought up that cool page I'd never seen before, with a nice little power button in the lower right. But when I hit that button, my choices were 3:
- Sleep
- Update and shut down
- Update and restart
My reason for avoiding the update is not for speed or convenience, but because ever since March 4, whenever Microsoft updates me, I lose my internet. Sometimes the restore back to a few days earlier works, sometimes it doesn't.

Also, the various run commands above didn't work either: the command box would just flash off and no shutdown transpired.

I think the time and resources Microsoft expended in defeating those 2 features could have been better spent in testing that updates don't break the users' internet connection.
