A lot of modern windows laptop don’t let you shut them down.
They use something called Windows Hybrid Sleep and it should be illegal. Selecting shut down in windows will keep the machine in a state where it will turn on at random times to check for updates. Especially fun whrn in your backpack creating a furnace.

Thankfully it can be disabled via AD policy.
Ah yeah I forgot about hybrid sleep as I turned if off years ago and forgot it existed. Such a nonsense feature.
I remember you have to press either Shift or Alt for the shutdown button to actually shut down the PC.
Or just disable the Fast Startup option
Shouldn’t have to use fucking group policy just to stop your machine updating at inopportune times. Fucking Windows.
is that not on by default for every windows installation?
