Windows 11 Finally Fixes "Update and Shut Down" Functionality After a Decade (www.techpowerup.com)

If you ever tried the infamous "Update and shut down" option in any Windows build, it often leads to a reboot instead to an actual shutdown. Now, Microsoft has finally fixed this issue starting with Windows 11 25H2 Build 26200.7019 (or 26100.7019 on 24H2). According to the Windows Latest, Microsoft has shipped this broken functionality way back with Windows 10, and has never fixed it since. However, the Windows teams working behind the update have finally managed to ship a working solution with a note stating in Windows 11 experiences that the new build: "Addressed underlying issue which can cause "Update and shutdown" to not actually shut down your PC after updating."

My first experience with kde was back in 2012 or so (plasma 4?) and at that moment it felt so advanced compared to win 7 or vista that going back to windows was painful.

I don't think I'm using any really fancy KDE features I just like that I can bodge together whatever I want it to look like... which is basically windows with re-orderable applications, shoving most things I have in the background into the system tray, and jerking off furiously that I don't have to touch my phone because of KDE connect, but I think you can install it on non KDE systems, since most of the apps that start with K in package managers has some KDE affiliation, but run on any linux system regardless of KDE Plasma graphical shell or any alternative like GNOME or MATE
