Windows 10 shutdown options
Hi everyone.
I have a work laptop which is AAD joined. Previously when I downloaded updates my shutdown setting would be "shut down and install updates" or "restart and install updates". I have configured updates to download in Intune because some users are able to turn off updates.
Now I can choose between "shut down and install" or just "shut down". I don't want users to be able to shut down without installing if there are updates pending. What should I do? Has anyone set up an update ring that behaves the way I want it to?
Thanks everyone š
You can set these GPO, CSP or registry keys to have the system make those extra items visible at shutdown. In this case, you'd want to set it to "Disabled" or "0" in the reg key since you want it to show.

Could also look at some of these other related update settings to facilitate the process:
Settings for Windows Update that you can manage through Intune policy for Update rings

Hi, just replying to myself here. I think i've fixed my update woes but only another patch cycle will tell. The MS documentation on the subject is risible but there is a gentleman on youtube called Manish Bangia who knows what he's doing. If my problem is also your problem please look him up. It's 18 mins well spent.
Thanks,
Dave.
