Have they fixed it yet so when you click 'Update and shutdown' the computer actually shuts down when its updated..?

But I do like your thinking.

If the USB stick has a Linux installer on it, yes you can

As for Windows, it sounds like there is already a fix for this. Which is just as well, we have a Windows tablet around here that doesn't have enough flash storage on board to handle a Windows update so *has* to have a USB stick plugged in to get upgrades.

That would be awesome.
