Overview
- The fix first appeared in the October optional update KB5067036 and will roll out broadly with November’s Patch Tuesday release.
- Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.7019 and 25H2 Build 26200.7019 or newer now honor Update and shut down by powering off after updates.
- Microsoft confirms the years‑old behavior that acted like Update and restart is now corrected on supported Windows 11 versions.
- The company attributes the problem to the shutdown instruction not persisting through the reboot required for offline servicing.
- Related updates include keeping month‑year dates in simplified update titles, a server‑side fix for a false Windows 10 end‑of‑support alert, and an ongoing driver install error 0x80070103 that remains unresolved.
