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.”
It baffles me how few people know that they can just replace the Explorer shell.

You could have vertical task bar in vanilla windows 10. They took it out in 11 because fuck you, presumably.
They rewrote it and only implemented half the features. Just like the settings app and a bunch of other things. Because who ever cared about feature parity?
That baffles you? I’d be willing to be 99% of windows users don’t even know what explorer.exe is.
