This is it. OP is just dumb. "omg it's restarting when it said it was at less than 100% and I can't fathom why that would be, I told it to shut down reeeEEEEE". I used to think this was job security ("my system got corrupted and it's totally not because I'm an idiot") but as the years go on I yearn to simply drop filing cabinets on their heads.
I have to use Windows for work. A few days ago I pressed the button to update and shut down as I started preparing to leave. I went away for a bit and when I came back to get my stuff, the computer was back at the login screen. It updated and restarted. Windows really does do that. I hate it.
I don't think I've ever had that happen - maybe it's a group policy thing or something?
GP is a good shout. I see this issue occur intermittently at work; and whilst I haven't checked our GPOs recently; I'm fairly certain the incident is intermittent amongst machines running the same policies (IE: a finance dept of 50 machines may see 10 exhibit this behaviour).
I've also seen it occur on home PCs. The only constant trait among them that I can determine is the OS (always 11). I just assumed it was introduced by some KB somewhere down the line or something like that.
Ah, I'm not running 11 yet. I'm one of the holdouts still on 10, I upgraded as soon as it was available and then restored from an image to 10. I fear I need to get pushed to it at EoL, since my home rig has two sound cards, a keyboard, and a mouse that are configurable only in windows. But fuck, I'm dreading the day, as I hate the start menu, the possibility of ads in explorer, the context menu is stupid and is not accessibility-friendly, I can't keep the taskbar at the top, the settings are getting more obtuse...
So yeah that could explain why I've not seen it before myself :p
