    I’m also an it technician with over a decade of experience, and I’ve seen this first hand, on multiple occasions.

    I agree PICNIC is the goto in this scenario; it’s not like shutdown commands are new, so why would it not work as intended? it was my initial assumption when faced with these reports; but having seen this occur multiple times, I can confirm it isn’t. My running theory is it’s KB related, as the issue is intermittent by device (though consistent with an affected device… as in the device will exhibit this behaviour every time). It’s also unique to windows 11.


  • 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.



  • Absolutely. You reminded me of an old hitchhikers guide quote;

    It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it… anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
