| Apr 24, 2017 at 16:56 | comment | added | ADTC | Does this still work? Microsoft has systematically removed the ability to shutdown or restart without updating so that any of the many tips and tricks would no longer work. Publicize a new method to bypass the system and Microsoft will patch it in the next update. I would be very surprised if this still works in 2017. | |

| Oct 5, 2016 at 11:24 | comment | added | Jeter-work | If power button does a shutdown, it will still install pending updates. If you set it to do a power off, it does that, but any open files are not saved and temp files are not cleaned up. This can cause orphaned files, at best, and file corruption, and registry corruption (probably worst). | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 10:05 | comment | added | CularBytes | Well, shutting down with the wrong method (that does install updates) you would have to wait for the next updates again. If you found out what method/function makes sure no updates are installed for shutting down then indeed, we could make an executable to shutdown without updates. | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 6:28 | comment | added | Toastgeraet | @CularBytes What do you mean, 'it would take a lot of time'? To develop some solution? Right now im on a windows xp machine, so i can't test for Win10, but there are snippets that can be compiled into an executable and let you shutdown - i believe without updates (not verified). Important thing to note: privileges must be acquired, first. Example here | |

| Aug 25, 2016 at 12:11 | comment | added | Toastgeraet | @AlexS I got one more idea. I think the menu is probably interacting with the windows api. Could be the ShutdownFunctions within the advapi32.dll | |

removed "quick" because it led to confusion

| Aug 25, 2016 at 11:52 | comment | added | Toastgeraet | Good case. It looks like it is shutting down properly for me. I don't really know what it is triggering in the background - that is the golden question. And you're right - it may not always apply. Sorry i cannot help you any further with your VM, but if you find out anything, I'd be very interested to know. Thank you for your valuable comment. | |
| Aug 24, 2016 at 18:59 | comment | added | Alex S | What do I do with my VM that has Win 10 1511 with the same issue? You're leveraging Power button "what to do" But may not always apply. PS: Maybe we ought to ask, what is that POWER BUTTON triggering to get your QUICK SHUTDOWN without Updates. Is it executing a FORCE shutdown? | |
