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.

It was ironic this video appeared in my KZread feed because just a few hours ago I experienced a problem you referred to with an update. The update was taking forever; I think it was updating for over 90 minutes, alternately displaying the message about an update in progress so I shouldn't turn off my PC, and then a message saying nothing was detected on HDMI. I got tired on waiting so I shut off my PC by holding down the power button for 5 seconds, waited a minute or so, then turned it back on. The update proceeded without a hitch in less than a minute.

I had a friend do this in trade school. He turned off the computer via a hard power off (holding the power button) while it was updating. The computer deleted all of the drivers, making mice, keyboards, and even simple plug and play things like controllers not work anymore.

So...I wish I knew this in 2018 when I did turn off the computer. I ended up getting a fatal Blue Menu of Death...and you don't wanna know what that means. After I re-installed Windows, I realized that all my data was lost forever and I had made no backups (while the other user who had the computer hadn't lost a single file). The only good thing is that I became an administrator user when I wasn't one before...way to gain things am I right?

to add insult to injury... You could've run recuva over over your Drive to restore what you can. Oh well I guess to late to tell you that now eh?

I remember that one time while my father was updating windows on his laptop the update crashed, everytime he tried to start it showed a bsod and because he had important data on it he asked me if I could recover it so I connected the ssd to get the data but it was all gone so after a lot of trying I managed to get it back with a data recovery tool.

I had a final exam starting in 20 mins. My laptop was freezing a bit so I decided to 'restart' and it started the 'update'. You can imagine what I felt waiting for this update to finish before my exam started. 😐

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 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.

I was hurried over one time in my laptop and it had to update but since i didnt have time to wait so i just turned off the computer, after some time, when i turned on the laptop it would just crash and automaticly turn off again again and again so i got help from my brother since he knows about technical pc stuff.

I used to shutdown my PC during updates all the time with no problems, then I did it just as Linus said, in exactly the wrong moment and it got stuck in a boot loop every time I turned it on. I couldn't remember what version of windows I was using though (10) because I had updated it after originally installing windows 7 from the disk. So I tried to restore with the Windows 7 disk. Which didn't work, obviously. I eventually got a Windows 10 USB to fix it, but ever since then it asks on startup which version I want to use, despite Windows 7 not actually being installed or able to run.

I remember an old computer of mine that shut down during an update once. I don't know why. It was plugged in and everything. When I rebooted it, it was in an endless "starting up" mode. ;w; I was younger and had no idea what to do...

joined the windows insider program dev channel and got my first ever green screen of death saying something was wrong with an update, so now I'm reinstalling it, fingers crossed it doesn't happen again. If it does then I'm going back to regular windows.

2:00 I had a friend whose laptop decided to apply an update in the middle of a league of legends game. We were all sitting around the table. He gave it a few minutes, but quickly became impatient, and decided to hold down the power button for 5 seconds. Computer would post, but not load windows. Lucky for him I had a spare computer for him to use while I was reinstalling his. Moral of the story: a few minutes of patience could save you, or your techie friend, a few hours of work. Please do try to avoid turning off your computer when it is updating. Like improperly handling a knife, you may get away with it many times. You may never ever be punished for it. But it only takes one wrong slip into your gut, and it won't matter if you had done it once, or a thousand times before. That *was* your last chance.

I don't even have to watch the video to know that it's 7 years of bad luck to turn off a computer before it finishes updating. The wanderer was here.

I onced turned off my PC during an update. The reason why is because I didn't realised Windows was still updating because it was a blank screen. When I opened it again, it just refuses to load.
