[FIXED] Can't Restart or Shut down my PC- Windows 10 insider build 18999 Fast Ring
UPDATE 10/18: We have released 20H1 Build 19002.1002, which includes a fix for the issue causing some devices to get stuck during shutdown or restart. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/...
HotCakeX Cumulatvie Update 19002.1002 has been released in the Fast Ring to resolve the restart issue. We appreciate your patience!

Mitchwi3 This is a known issue that we have added to the flight notes (https://aka.ms/wip18999). We have identified the root cause and a fix will be coming soon. The issue is random as to when and where it occurs. A lot of folks have been posting various workarounds and fixes, but I can assure you that none of them will resolve the issue. The only workaround that I have been able to repro 100% of the time is running either shutdown /s /t 0 /f or shutdown /r /t 0 /f from an elevated command prompt. Even this has some randomness to the amount of time it takes. I've seen it happen in 20 seconds, and also in 8 minutes.
I hope we get the next insider build soon, it's been 9 days since the last build (which didn't add much new features), the normal cycle is usually every 7 days
New insider build now released on fast ring 19002.1, but hasn't solved it for me,

Doenst work here either. Still doesnt shutdown. Iain Fielding
- After the Windows update finished download and installing the update, I couldn't restart because it got stuck again, so I had to force reset using button on the case and after Windows loaded up, quickly restarted again from the start menu and only then I could get Windows to start finishing and installing the new build.
build 19002 was delayed 9 days (2 more days than the usual period between each new build) and yet it has a lot more known issues than the previous one. and it's all happening while there is absolutely No new feature added.
so one would think that when they fix 1 bug, they create 2 more somewhere else. it's like a never ending cycle..
- The easiest workaround I use is to first sign out of my user account and then turn off my PC.
at that point even if the shut down process malfunctions, I won't lose anything because I've signed out of everything already. but using this workaround has Never malfunctioned so far. Iain Fielding We were hoping to get the fix into this week's flight, but it didn't make it in time. It's looking like it should be in the next one.

- Thanks,
so many fixes in this build, could you give us some hints about when we are going to see big changes in fast ring builds? a new big feature or change, for example the return of Windows SETS or something like that? 🙂
