Just what you need in the middle of a battle...

“Windows is updating. Do not shut off or unplug your computer.”

How many times have I gotten to the end of a session, need to pack up and take the laptop with me (powered off), and the "ShutDown" button has the dreaded "You Must Install These Updates Or Else" icon over it. And no, I don't use "Hibernate", it is untrustworthy with the apps and networks I use.

Does it do that "ShutDown" button thing for the updates with the "Restart" button, when I have plenty of time and want it to install and restart? NO-O-O-O-O!

Only when I'm in a hurry and need to power it down quickly.

Worst. And. Stupidest. Design. Ever. in that regard.
