So, you shut down your PC and notice that the shut down process will take longer than usual, because Windows 10 needs to update.

There is a way to get around this: a way to shut down immediately without Windows updates delaying the shut down process by installing pending updates.

Here is one easy method to get around this: press the Windows+D on your keyboard. Then, press Alt+F4 to open the Shut Down Windows dialog box. To shut down without installing updates, select “Shut down” from the drop-down menu.
