A small but long‑standing bug in Windows’ shutdown process has been resolved, ending years of frustration for users.

Starting with Windows 11 25H2 Build 26200.7019 (or 26100.7019 on 24H2) and newer, “Update and shut down" will shut down, not reboot.

The fix is arriving through the optional KB5067036 update for Windows 11 25H2, which Microsoft began rolling out last week.
