Update finally released as Microsoft confirms major changes for all Windows users and a serious issue with no fix available.
Microsoft has finally confirmed a serious update mistake affecting Windows 10 and Windows 11 users. It has now issued a fix. This comes afterthrough October. A month that also saw Microsoft bring Windows 10 to an end, stopping security updates for millions of users.
This latest fix resolves a long-standing issue where selecting “update and shut down” on a Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC would “update and restart” instead. Per, “starting with Windows 11 25H2 Build 26200.7019, and newer, your PC will finally shut down when you explicitly choose ‘update and shut down’.” The Windows specialists describe this as a “decades-old bug,” albeit it’s unclear when it first began to affect users. Whatclear is that “it affects Windows 11 and 10, and is one of the most reported issues. Microsoft shipped a broken ‘update and shut down’ toggle with Windows 10, and it never acknowledged it until now.”While this might be little more than an inconvenience for desktop users, it’s a very different matter if it happens to your laptop. “When it’s 11 PM and there’s a pending Windows Update. I’d select update and shut down, and go to bed, but the next morning, Windows would be on the login screen if its battery didn’t drain out.” The two different options appear side-by-side, so it’s easy for users to assume they have selected the restart option instead of the shut down option by mistake. Now Microsoft has confirmed “the October 2025 optional update finally fixes it.”, “Microsoft is making Windows updates simpler and 'more intuitive’.” This means updates will have more "user-friendly" names rather than then jumble of numbers and codes that users have waded through until now.“to further enrich the user experience, we’re introducing a simplified and standardized titling system for a range of updates. This new format is designed primarily with the user in mind. Titles are more intuitive, consistent, and informative to help users quickly understand what updates they’re receiving.”. “We’ve removed unnecessary technical elements such as platform architecture or date prefixes, while keeping identifiers like the KB number and build or version.”also warns that “Microsoft admits a long-standing Windows 11 driver 0x80070103 error, and says it can’t fully fix the issue.” An October 2025 patchThe issue occurs when installing a driver that’s already on the PC. Windows Update shows 0x800f0983. “Microsoft officials previously told users to ignore error 0x800f0983 because there’s nothing you can do. One of the workarounds is to reset Windows, but what if you come across the same error again?”
