  I just stumbled upon a photo of a note that the computer admin had
  left in a classroom in 2013. This pic totally backs up my memory.
  I'm gonna go ahead and quote the translated text from the photo:

|Please Note! 
|
|When shutting down the PCs, updates may potentially be installed!
|
|Turn off the main power switch only after the PCs have
|powered down themselves. If it takes a long time, leave the
|main power switch on!                  (Administrator's initials)

  , In the original German:

|Bitte beachten!
|
|Beim Herunterfahren der PCs können eventuell Updates
|installiert werden!
|
|Hauptschalter erst ausschalten, wenn sich PCs selbst
|herunterfahren. Wenn es lange dauert, Hauptschalter
|eingeschaltet lassen! (Namenskürzel des Administrators)
