If the Windows 'update and shut down' option restarts your PC instead, it's not just you

Have you ever seen the Windows login screen on your monitor and thought, "Wait a minute, didn't I tell it to shut down?"

For a while, I doubted myself: Maybe I had told Windows to "update and restart" instead of "update and shut down." And maybe I should go check the burners on the stove, because clearly I can't be trusted with on/off states.

But no, it wasn't me. When I mentioned this experience in a meeting recently, another PC Gamer editor said, Wait a minute, you too? 

Windows has been doing this since at least 2021...
