I had an occasion today in which I wanted to shutdown windows 8 without waiting to apply updates first.
I found a couple of threads on how to do this in Windows 7, none of which seemed to work in Windows 8. I've also checked the command line shutdown.exe options but didn't see anything specific to do this. Perhaps, I'm not looking hard enough!
Anyway, does anyone know of a way to force a shutdown of windows 8 without applying updates first? (It would be preferable to do this without delving into the registry.)
