Windows 8.1 Pro Workstations - Not Getting "Install Updates and Shut Down" notification for new updates

We've got a small handful of Windows 8.1 Pro workstations on our domain (SBS 2008).
The workstations show up in the WSUS Console list along with the details of how many updates need to be installed.
On the Windows 8.1 Pro workstations, at the logon screen they display "Important Updates Are Available. Go to PC Settings to install them". If we go to PC Settings or Windows Updates via Control Panel the updates show as awaiting installation.
However, we can't rely on users to go into PC Settings or Control Panel to install Windows Updates. We need them to be installed as per Windows 7 and Windows XP - whereby when the user shuts down their workstations it displays the message "Install Updates
and Shutdown".
Currently the Windows 8.1 Pro workstations do not show this - if you choose to shut down there are no update installation messages and the workstations simply shut down.
Has anyone else encountered this? What needs to be done?
Thanks in advance.
I don't work for Microsoft - I just use their products.

It does sound weird yes.
Id like to try and mirror your setup in my lab.
What settings do you have in your WSUS GPO?
Have you seen this, in the 'Configure Automatic Updates' setting?
On Windows 8 and later, you can set updates to install during automatic maintenance instead of a specific schedule. Automatic maintenance will install updates when the computer is not in use, and avoid doing so when the computer
is running on battery power. If automatic maintenance is unable to install updates for 2 days, Windows Update will install updates right away. Users will then be notified about an upcoming restart, and that restart will only take place if there is no potential
for accidental data loss.
Automatic maintenance can be further configured by using Group Policy settings here: Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Maintenance Scheduler

Windows 8/8.1 - No Option for "Install Updates and Shut Down"

We’ve got a handful of Windows 8 workstations and I’ve noticed that users don’t get the “Install Updates and Shut Down” option when they shut their systems down. Nor do they get the updates icon in the notification area.
Instead, all they get is the following message at the logon screen:
There is no way I can expect my users to do this.
I need to ensure that the updates are installed when the user shuts down.
There must be a way of configuring Group Policy to allow Windows 8 workstations to prompt to install updates when the user shuts down.
I cannot implement an option whereby updates are installed automatically without the user being aware. If updates start installing automatically then there is the potential for loss of work if a user is away from their desk for a long period of time and
their system just restarts to complete the installation.
Our current group policy settings are below. This works fine for the Windows 7 workstations.
I presume others have experienced this? Can anyone offer any guidance?
Thanks
Current Group policy settings:-
Client Computers Policy:-
Configure Automatic Updating – 3 – Auto download and notify for install
I don't work for Microsoft - I just use their products.

I am sorry but this is NOT an answer.
You're correct. It's not. Microsoft has some overzealous contractors who seem to think any response is "the answer". I've unmarked the post, because, in fact, it was merely "additional information" which may or may not have addressed the
original issue.
I, like the original poster, have several computers that do NOT offer 'Install Updates' in any of the power menus and definitely do NOT install the updates during either a restart or a shutdown.
Now *THAT* is an entirely *DIFFERENT* situation than what the Original Poster has offered here, so the appropriate thing for you to do is to start a NEW THREAD and fully describe the environment and symptoms of the problem and what you've done (if anything)
to try to identify, isolate, or remediate the undesirable behavior.
The PCs I have are Windows 8.1 installed from a partner copy of Windows 8 and upgraded.
I'm intrigued with this "partner copy of Windows 8" thing. Have you asked "the partner" what they customized in the installation image before you actually installed the product???
Can someone please offer a SOLUTION as opposed to parroting what SHOULD happen.
Not until you provide us with some actionable information. :-)

Hi there DerVogel ,
Sounds like a Heat related issue ????????
Whenever it shutdown automatically does it turn on right away ? One symptom of a heat related issue is, it takes about several minutes before you can turn it back on again.
Here is how you can isolate the issue since it could also be a software related problem.
1) Turn on the system Tap F2 and boot on the system setup screen ( BIOS )
2) Just stay on the Bios , If it doest shutdown on the bios then you might need to reinstall windows. or check if system is infected with spyware or a virus.
But if it does the same thing then the best thing to so is to bring it to a Repair Center or Call Tech support for a depot service repair.
Cheers ! hope this will help.

Dreaded SP3 "Install Updates and Shut Down"?

Help! My t400 just started insisting as a default choice "install updates and shut down" when I try to shut down.
It used to just go with the last thing I chose - so if I hit the off botton last time and said restart, that would pop up this time.
NOW, it wants to "install updates." What updates? I did something in windows update that was supposed to block the installation of Service Pack 3, but now I'm scared to death that SP3 is trying to hijack my machine.
Is there a way to a) find out exactly what updates it wants to install, and b) go back to how things were - when I hit the power botton my last shut down choice (sleep, restart etc) is what comes up?????
Thanks!

Pro*COBOL not getting instaled on Fedora 14

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 11gr2 on Fedora 14 x86_64 system,. But the Pro*COBOL pre compiler which automatically comes with Oracle is not getting installed (Instead Proc is available. I dont know why). I have the entire application coded in embeded SQL-COBOL programs. I am stuck here, unable to preprocess my programs.
Please suggest me the procedure to resolve. Thanks in advance.
Note: In "Advanced Install" option I could not find "custom instal"l or a provision to select "precompilers" but other DBA related things found

David,
Can you try passing in the 1.5 VM location manually as listed below
WorkshopInstaller.exe LAX_VM d:\bea\9server\jdk150_04\bin\java.exe
Can you also make sure that the 1.5 JVM value entry is the first entry in the PATH environment variable.
cheers

Macbook pro will not wake from sleep without shut down?

My macbook pro 2007 will not wake from sleep without holding down start button and then restarting? Is this a serious problem?

You can Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
You can run the Disk Utility> Repair Disk from Recovery ( command R on start)
if that does not sort it I would reinstall OS X

Replaced Logic Board, RAM, and hard drive connecting wire, but Macbook Pro 15' (Mid 2010) now freezes and shuts down randomly

I have a mid 2010, Macbook Pro '15. Summer of 2012, it kept shutting down and making the three beeping noises, so I took it in for repair. I was told that my Logicboard needed to be replaced, so I replaced it, and took my Macbook abroad with me. Halfway through the summer, the three beeping noises resumed, and since I was abroad, I couldn't use my 90 day warranty and take it back for repair. By the time I returned to the US, my warranty ended, and I was told that the RAM actually needed to be replaced. So I replaced that.
In May of this year, my laptop wouldn't start and instead showed a folder with a question mark. I took it to repair and was told it was the hard drive wire that needed to be replaced, so I replaced that. Less than two weeks after, my Mac began freezing whenever I had a YouTube video or song playing- it made short, staticky sounds and then shut down. Now, it shuts down randomly even when I'm not playing videos or songs, and regardless of if it is running on battery or plugged in. Since I got my hard drive wire replaced, I've also noticed that the laptop takes an incredibly slow time to start up.
The last the Genius Bar technicians looked at my computer when replacing the harddrive wire, they hadn't said anything else was wrong with my laptop.
I've spent almost $1000 total fixing my macbook and am quite sick of going through this over and over again. Can anyone help me know what went wrong this time? (I have no apple care) Thank you in advance.

Check to see if you've any panic logs -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2546.
If so, post the text of the latest.

IMac does not like being connected and shuts down

A white 17-inch iMac belonging to relatives of mine has started to behave rather oddly. In particular it does not seem to like to be connected to anything. Once when set to run in Fire Wire–hard drive mode it had just shut down and restarted itself in normal mode. And now when I try to start it with an Ethernet cable connected it just turns black shortly after the start signal. If the cable is removed it starts as it should (most of the time anyway – sometimes I have had to pull the power plug for a while or do a PRAM reset).
In addition, once when I pressed the switch on the back to start it up there were repeated soughing sounds, as if it tried to start over and over again. When the power plug had been removed and reconnected the Imac started directly, without the switch being pressed.
Finally, once when I tried to wake it up from sleep mode it shut down too. What is wrong with it?

So, I tried the old ADSL modem and router again, and now the iMac seems to work fine and connects to the Internet without problems. (The reason this equipment was exchanged in the first place, some month or two ago, was that somebody felt that new technology should be used, something by means of which your telephone calls too are transmitted over the Internet. Well, obviously it did not work, at least not with this piece of junk that Telia (our previously national Swedish telephone company) sent.)
Now the only thing is that although the iMac seems to work fine obviously some damage has been done to it, since for example it shut down from target disk mode (without any Ethernet cable being attached). I do not really know how to address that.

Macbook pro is not getting turn on and further when i press power button the green orange light suddenly changes to green again, moreover battery meter is not working

Hi
Last night my macbook pro gets off automatically when battery gets empty and in the morning it isn't turning on. When i connect the charger, the light on the charger turns green to orange (showing that it is charging) but when i press the power button it suddenly changes to green again. I thought there must not be any connection between the charger light and the power button. And battery meter was running fine.
When it tried this again and again the charger light disappear and battery meter also stops working, when i clearly observe it there is a very dim green light in the charger (not observable in the light) and the laptop is still not showing any change.
please help!
