Update and Shut Down... eventually?

We are in 2025, it's Windows, not 2, not 3... it's 11!!! And when i want to shut down my PC after update, whatever the PC or laptop i use... it SYSTEMATICALLY RESTART. What is not clear about SHUT DOWN after update?

    Many updates require a restart to complete installation. During the shutdown process, Windows sometimes triggers a restart automatically to finalize updates, especially if a "shutdown" is initiated during or immediately after an update.
