What's the diff between win+x shutdown and desktop icon shutdown?
I've always had a desktop shortcut to shutdown Win10 as follows:
..... TARGET: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe /s /t 00
However since switching to Win10 when I click that shutdown icon, Win10 can take a long time to shutdown.
But if I press (win+x) and then do a shutdown that way, Win10 always shuts down in a minimum amount of time.
It seems that the desktop shutdown is allowing Win10 to do any pending Win10 updates while the (win+x) shutdown just does a shutdown and ignores any pending Win10 updates. Is that correct?
The desktop shutdown is aggravating when I'm troubleshooting a problem since it forces me to wait a long time for the shutdown to complete. How can I modify the desktop shortcut's TARGET to make it work like the (win+x) shutdown? Then I could have two desktop shutdowns and pick the one to use as appropriate.
Thanks.
