I got Cortana yesterday and was getting along with it.But when I said Shutdown, it just searched Bing for Shutdown. I want Cortana to shut down my PC, how to do this?
This creates a shortcut that Cortana can invoke, the target of the shortcut is the Windows shutdown.exe utility.
Goto C:\Users\ {Your Username} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Create a new shortcut
In location, type shutdown -s -t 10 -c "Your Comment" (without the quotes)
Now name it whatever you want.
Done
-s is for shutting it down and -r for restarting it. -t is the timer in seconds.
-c is the comment which appears when going to shut down. This is a youtube video which shows how to do it.

Cortana opens smoothly but doesn't allow me to type more than 2 letters in the search box. After some time, it is hanged and Cortana disappears.
I had to face this issue too, I did not get the solution even after doing lots of research on the internet, Even Microsoft Advisor told me about reinstall windows
And finally, I found an alternate solution: Classic Shell.

Follow the steps:
Go here and download classic shell - http://www.classicshell.net/

With W7x64, all commands ("mkdir", "ping", "ipconfig", or the installed "composer") grant an "access refused" error.
I shut down firewall (Comodo), disabled UAC, launched cmd as administrator, created a brand new administrator session, checked and altered owning permissions (setting them to my account), and, of course, restarted the damn machine.
Last piece of information, but I don't think it has any relevance : system is on SSD.
Edit : Here is a screen shot:
I can't figure what happened to my command line, but installing an alternative (I choose conemu) makes things returning to their old self again.

My Windows 7 started installing updates on shutdown. After I manually forced shutdown by mistake, after restart I have a message : "Installing updates : 10 of 42", i.e. the installation of updates continues. If there is any way to stop the process? Like, start Windows in protected mode or something similar, as it was available in Windows XP?
I am not asking how to disable automatic updates installation in the future, I am asking how to stop the update process after it has already been started.
Thanks,
Kostya
There is no way to kill installing process after it started but just to long press the power button and disable the automatic after restarted.
SOLUTION !
1) create a .bat (CMD) file, with this code:
sc stop wuauserv
2) put that file in STARTUP folder ( %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup )

The question is while restarting the windows service whether windows kills the service or it waits for the process to finish. As i remember in linux the "restart" command will kill all the child process.
Thanks in advance. I searched the question in this forum but didn't find.
Restarting a service is just shorthand for 'stop service and start service.' So, the service gets a chance to shut down normally and then it gets a chance to start up normally.
You can see this by restarting a service in the Services MMC snap-in. I tried this on Windows 7 and the sequence UI went like this:
Windows is attempting to stop the following service on Local Computer
followed by
Windows is attempting to start the following service on Local Computer
