shutdown.exe -a should take care of situations like that. It's not an excuse for taking away your options on the UI though.

Does that require admin access? It wasn't their machine, it was one the school provided for the auditorium.

By default a normal user can abort the shutdown. They could also configure group policy to prevent shutdown permissions which also prevents aborting a shutdown.

The GPO is Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Shut down the system.

What about all those update skippers that start complaining to Microsoft when their system breaks because they don't understand that updates are crucial for a good running system?

I get why Microsoft forces it now on the Home editions.
