@@pixelmaster98 Not always. BIOS updates change the programming on the BIOS chips themselves, which is very different from CMOS settings. Unless your motherboard has a special USB port and the button for flashing the BIOS, failing the BIOS update could very well brick the motherboard.

[@RealCheesyBread]

@@TheEDFLegacy Luckily some motherboards allow you to remove the bios chip to replace it with a new one from the manufacturer. I had to do that myself ~10 years ago when a BIOS update failed. IT was $15 to get the new chip.

[@joeljustin]

Many newer motherboards have a secondary bios chip as well. So, if the primary chip is unreadable due to a failed update, the secondary bios chip data is used to reprogram the prior chip to previous version.

As a technician, and thus someone who sees far more broken system than working ones, I might be a little biased negatively against windows update. That being said, it usually is able to recover from power loss during an update. Though, sometimes, I've seen systems have a power loss while supposedly non-critical updates are being applied in the background that required an OS reinstall. In general, just don't cut power.

My brother shuts down his PC every time upon an update. His PC originally never gets past them so he just shuts it down and windows is like "okay cheif ill let it slide this time"

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

As an IT tech I see that as an indication that windows doesn't work as intended and needs some attention. Usually I am able to fix these kinds of problems given time, but most of the time it would have been faster to just reinstall the OS. This breaks down when your OS heavily modified and has so many tweaks to make it work the way you want it to that you can't begin to recall just what all those tweaks were. Personally I'm a packrat. I hoard utilities and tweaks so it's hard to see where one tweak ends and another starts. This forces me to really take care to keep the OS running as a reinstall would be disastrous for my user experience. Sure I would eventually get back to something workable, probably even better, but I hate to go through the pain. The record was a WinXP installation that I used every day for about ten years. No reinstall ever, and it was still really snappy and well behaved after all that time. Well as snappy as it could be on five years old hardware. Yes I migrated that installation from a previous system. Only reason I gave it up was that MS stopped providing important upgrades and some new programs wouldn't run on a 32 bit OS any more...

[@kensmith5694]

@@blahorgaslisk7763 Its just easier to switch to Linux, isn't it.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

@@kensmith5694 I've dabled with Linux since the first kernel was released, but never got real fond of it. I was a UNIX admin for several years deploying and servicing Unix installations for customers using these to run commercial applications, and am certified, or at least I was certified for Unix System V and AIX version whatever, can't remember. But for some reason Linux strokes me the wrong way. I think it's the many elitists you encounter who blows people off unless they can hack together a Linux from Scratch system in less than a couple of hours. Is it strange if people are put off when they are met with the attitude that if you don't know how everything works then go pound sand? If they knew then they wouldn't be asking, and if they are asking then they are trying to learn. That and the huge diversity of distributions. Sure they are all GNU Linux, but they are often also very different from each other. I had customers running everything from pure Red Hat to CentOS to Ubuntu to LFS and who knows what else. And then there were Solaris. BSD and all the other Unix based operating systems. It seemed like every time they got stuck their system was just different enough that it took hours just to figure out just what the difference was that kept the "standard" solutions from working on their machine. So while everybody is heaping praise over Linux for it's diversity and flexibility it's exactly that I find frustrating. With Windows there is one OS I have to learn to support and it looks and works almost exactly the same on workstations as on servers. With Linux and Unix based operating systems there are probably at least ten major distributions and countless special versions I can run into all just slightly different from each other. Don't get me wrong. Linux and Unix are great. But the diversity makes it darn hard to provide support for the customers who use them. If I could concentrate on one or two versions it might have been OK, but not the hundreds there are now.

Of course, you're also assuming the sudden power loss to the hard drive(s) during active use didn't damage or corrupt them. But, we're agreed: Generally, an unnecessary (relatively low) risk except for when an Update hangs (I tell customers to give it at least 4 hours since we've had some slower machines take that long to process larger updates [assuming they have the time that they can wait]).

One of the most common cases when your pc shuts down mid-update in my opinion is the antimalware executable corruption. It boots up "normally" until you see that your RAM is being used 90% by a windows task called antimalware executable and it has a fairly easy way to troubleshoot. You can either do A.- Go into Task Scheduler and find it and disable that task or B. - Do he LTT way of troubleshooting method (no, not kicking your PC) and just use restoration.

[@chico9805]

"Ends in death", what does it start with?

[@HR-wd6cw]

Not much. However, if you shut off your computer repeatedly before Windows has time to complete the updates, eventually Windows thinks that there is an issue and will sometimes revert your computer back to factory defaults (seen that happen twice so far). But if you do it once or twice, generally it will try again to update the next time you shut down or reboot your computer.

[@neortik7]

Interesting so if windows don't boot and you restart a lot the system will revert to factory defaults ?

[@sf-jim8885]

This goes back at least a decade- - but I once accidentally kicked my computer power cord out while doing a Windows XP update on a Dell desktop, - - and I had to take the computer to my local computerguy to get it working again, and my hard drive got partly corrupted.

or you can download any linux live and transfer your files to another hard drive. Sometimes documents cannot access by another windows OS but linux will and can access any folders :)

[@gabrielandy9272]

only if the files are not protected, windows by default to be faster use a permission system that just marks a file as "Protected" but its the windows itself that will read "oh this file is protected i will not open it" thats why linux can read but if you use a proper protection with encryption bitlocker etc linux will not be able to open/touch the files at all so it really depends if the person use the fast system, that don't protect the files at all and just "Flags" then, or use a proper system like the windows bitlocker or whatever other software taht does similar thing. linux protection by default is encryption if the user enables of course.
