Win10 WinUpdates taskbar icon?
-
So I just noticed Windows 10, and I just tried searching around for a solution or setting toggle, doesn't display a notification when updates are downloading?! Am I missing anything here? I hate this because just when I am about to turn off the computer, I check the windows update and its in the middle of a download. I can see end users doing this (just turning off their computer without checking windows update) often and never completing downloads and it never getting updated. Most of the headaches I have encountered with Windows 10 is mostly with updates.:thumbsdown:

pretty sure it will just continue where it left off when the computer is powered-on.

You are probably correct but I haven't verified this. It would still be nice if it told me to leave on the computer until the updates are finished, if possible. Next time I turn it on, I could get compromised because I didn't know to finish the update :doh:

What I've seen is the windows icon, when right clicked and choosing "Shutdown or sign out" is that one of the choices mentions "updates" and shutting down. Maybe that's not showing for you? or it got broken in a recent update? Good luck!

You actually turn off Microsoft's computer? Since when do you feel you're allowed to do that?
I live in Oregon, and I'm an engineer.

So I left the new dell machine on while I left the office yesterday and it was downloading updates. I come in this morning and it is asleep (I didn't touch any sleep settings yet, so these are preconfigured settings). I turn it back on to see if you are correct and it only has Sign Out, Sleep, Shut down, Restart while Windows update screen says "Installing 93%". So it still shows no notices about Windows Update in progress while clicking on the menu to shut down.

I so appreciate sarcasm.:thumbsup: At least its not like some Ubuntu machines I have here just going straight into read-only mode and not allowing any account to sign in.
