Currently, the offline updates setting makes the computer to apply and to restart when turning on the PC after installing updates and this is very frustrating if you need to do something important and quickly. KDE could have an option to apply the updates after the user press "shutdown", so the computer is ready to use in the next startup.

Hi! The bug report is not about an option to shutdown without applying updates. Is for an option to apply the update before shutting down to avoid rebooting the PC when starting it again and to make booting faster.
It's true that what you're specifically asking for isn't the exact same thing as in Bug 435845, but the goal is the same: to avoid a long reboot cycle when it's not convenient. after updates have been downloaded. Delaying the update-on-reboot for another day makes much more sense than applying it immediately, which totally defeats the point of using offline updates in the first place. The only actionable thing to do is what's being proposed in Bug 435845, so re-marking as a duplicate. :) If you want to *always* apply updates immediately (at your own risk), you can enable that in System Settings > Software Update *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 435845 ***
Understood. Thanks for the info. Just a curiosity: why KDE applies the updates after shutdown and before startup and not just before shutdown?
It's not us, it's PackageKit. This is simply the way packageKit implemented the feature. It's kind of a "6 of 1, half-a-dozen of the other" situation, IMO.
This should be a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436928, or even https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435971#c6, not 435845 (which is a different request).

Good catch, thanks!
