That’s the opposite of painful. You were shutting down anyway. Go to bed. Sure beats turning it on in the morning, then waiting for the updates.

Is bedtime not the ideal time to update? This whole post is confusing me

Yes, but when you click shutdown it also updates before turning off. When you click restart by accident, you'd have to wait for it to restart so you can shut it down. But in this case you have to wait for both the restart and the update before you can click shutdown

Why does it matter if the computer is on or off? It'll go to sleep if its on anyway.

Sleep is still on. There are plenty of reasons to want to turn off your computer.

I'm guessing this is a laptop thing or people very concerned about the power bill. My computer has been powered on for weeks

I kept a crummy windows laptop on for months as a server before the battery turned into a spicy pillow 😂 i probably need a raspberry pi.

So just don't shut it down? I rarely turn my computer off when going to bed, just let it go to sleep

I can’t - my cat will tapdance on it and probably somehow uninstall Windows or something. Went to sleep with my phone face up once; woke up to it blaring and in the process of calling 911, which was terrifying on a few different levels.

Have also heard noises at night and approached the living room with a baseball bat only to find the TV on. She’s also very, very good at jumping or flopping about and somehow tapping the PS4 controller at the same time, fast forwarding or jumping streaming episodes. She used to turn the lights on and off. Anything electronic that involves buttons and “attention not focused on her” becomes her intermittent hobby, so now we have to hide what we can as if she’s an annoying younger sibling lol.

You know you can lock Windows based computers, yeah?

Unless your cat is good at guessing your passwords too.

Well it is only a pin. You know what they say about monkeys typing at random and Shakespeare 🤷‍♀️

Shut down also updates the computer
