    Windows update does not actually run on shutdown/restart


    My PC says it will update on shutdown/restart, however, neither option actually triggers updates to install, it just triggers a normal shutdown or reboot, and I need to install the patch for the print spooler vulnerability.My update history is showing me 6 counts of failed updates going back as far as 11/11/2020, with error code 0xc1900101, and one error with 0x80070652. This is the first I'm hearing about any of these errors, so apparently windows update has just been failing silently for 8 months. I already tried: - removing peripheral devices, and looking for corrupted drivers - following t

    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.

    Windows update does not actually run on shutdown/restart

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Windows update does not actually run on shutdown/restart :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
