Shutting down and starting your computer again can take a lot of time. Many of you likely turn off your computer when you want to take a break for a while. It applies to both Windows 11 and Windows 10 PCs and Laptops. One thing you normally do not need to worry about is loosing any of your data.Does your computer turn off instead of sleeping? In this guide, I will tell you how to fix Windows 11/10 shuts down instead of going to sleep. Intervention might be needed, restarting into safe mode, and starting the update process again. The machine might even be unusable as it tries over and over to complete the update. The worst outcome can be that the process gets caught in such a way that it loops back to the same incomplete state. It is usually best after a power interruption to manually check for updates again. This can be bad especially if some vulnerability was being corrected and that did not really happen. The PC will show the update installed when in fact it reverted back to the prior version of whatever was being updated. It can also happen that the process was stopped when it was already marked done but has not completed. That may take extra time but gets everything updated. It may be that the computer goes through several cycles trying to get the job done. The best is that when you restart your computer the process either continues or picks up from the start and you hardly notice that anything bad has occurred. The interruption can have several outcomes. If the computer is powered off during this process the installation process will be interrupted.
