I agree with the previous comments. In my opinion, moreover, it should be present an option to do a "full shutdown" instead of the the hybrid shutdown of Windows 8.
Currently it is possible pressing shift while clicking on "shut down" on Start8, but in my opinion it is a bit user-unfriendly.
So in my opinion the two problems might be solved togheter in this way:
1) adding the option "full shutdown" among the shutdown options in Start8
2) automatically showing the option "full shutdown and install updates", like it happened in Windows 7.
Or, if it is not possible on Windows 8, at least automatically show the option "update and reboot" which is the default option for install updates in Windows 8.
