How do I fix a malfunction in the Windows 11 shutdown update feature?
The shutdown option in the Start Menu is unresponsive, the update page cannot be opened, and both third-party repair attempts and manual patch installations have failed. How can this be resolved?

"I ran into this issue once when Windows 11 got stuck on the shutdown update screen. In my case, I restarted the system and then checked for pending updates from Settings > Windows Update. Sometimes corrupted update files cause this, so running the Windows Update troubleshooter or clearing the update cache helps. Also make sure your system has enough storage and no background apps are interfering. After doing this, the shutdown update started working normally again."
