Microsoft has announced a significant resolution to a long-standing issue affecting its Windows operating system. According to reports from Windows Central, the tech giant has successfully addressed a bug that has troubled Windows 11 users for over two years. This particular glitch arose during the update installation process, where users were prompted to click the “Update and shut down” button. Instead of completing the update as intended, many users experienced unexpected reboots.
Long-Standing Challenges
The publication highlighted that similar issues were also prevalent in Windows 10, indicating a broader challenge within Microsoft’s update mechanisms. However, the company has now confirmed that a fix is available in the beta version of the OS, with plans to roll it out to all users shortly.
The “Update and shut down” feature is particularly valued by users who wish to leave their computers to complete updates after a work session. This functionality allows for a seamless transition, enabling the device to install necessary updates and power down without further user intervention.
In a related development, Microsoft recently shared that it had dedicated a year to resolving two other notable bugs in Windows 11. Earlier this autumn, the company announced successful fixes for issues related to Windows Hello face recognition and Bluetooth connectivity, further demonstrating its commitment to enhancing user experience.
