    People give Windows a lot of flak for this, but at least it usually does turn off after finishing its updates.

    MacOS is the one that will just literally ignore the fact that you told it to shut down. Or it takes forever to tell you that a program has unsaved changes. At least Windows will tell you that right away, so that you see the “something is preventing shutdown” message before you walk away from the computer. Your Mac will wait 15 minutes, and then be like, “by the way, the browser doesn’t want to close.”

      “Update and Shutdown” still acts as “Update and Restart” on windows. They added a whole new feature that is indistinguishable from the previous feature.

      Though I agree macos has the problem of “well Firefox was open so I was stuck here over night”
