Those shutdown/restart options are available in all editions of Windows 10, and have been there over a year now since a few builds before November Update version 1511. The other options for restarting or shutting down your PC include shutting or restarting with updates or shutting or restarting without updates. You can then choose whether to restart or postpone the updates. In Windows 10, you will get a notification about the update being downloaded and prepared for installation and ask you to restart to apply the updates. Your computer might also be acting funny forcing the need to reboot and it will be a bit risky to run updates at that time. There are other times that you might also need to shut down or reboot quickly and updates will only slow this down. For example, waiting for over 30 minutes for your PC to update during office hours can be a big inconvenience. All that is good, but some people usually have their computer on for most of the time. Windows has always provided updates in order to give more or better features to its users, or if need to patch up bugs and security risks come up.
