The report highlights that recently, however, some Windows 11 users have noticed that shutting down takes a few seconds longer than usual. If you’ve been a Windows user for many years and always shut down your PC properly, you’ll no doubt have a sense of how quickly this process should actually take.
In a fresh development, microsoft has now officially confirmed the issue, with June’s optional patch KB5095093 intended to fix it. This isn’t an individual problem with your system, but a bug that can affect many users.
In a fresh development, the exact note on the support page says this:. According to the patch’s support page, Microsoft has identified a fault in the Windows BITS service, which transfers files in the background and automatically resumes downloads if they’re interrupted.
According to the latest update, [General performance] Improves the time to shut down Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) when you turn off your PC.
According to the latest update, this problem has apparently been present for some time, but has only now been patched by Microsoft. In this instance, the BITS service appears to have taken too long to check for unfinished updates, which delayed the operating system’s shutdown.
According to the latest update, however, the patch should mean you no longer experience unexpected freezes caused by BITS. This doesn’t necessarily mean your PC will suddenly shut down in a flash after installing this patch.
Industry observers note that however, it’s an optional patch, which means you’ll need to manually install it if you want those benefits now (instead of waiting for them to arrive in July’s main patch). You can do so via Windows Revision or via the Microsoft Revision Catalog. Revision KB5095093 includes various other benefits, including some big Bluetooth improvements and fixes.
