10

Dear Windows,

How hard is it to actually update and shut down? No, don't restart. If I wanted you to restart I would have chosen that option.

Sincerely,
The last decade

    This bug is happening 50% of the time, almost always alternating.

    It was present in win 10, is in win 11 and probably will be in win 12.

    MS either can’t fix it or doesn’t give a shit. Both options are very worrying.

    Happened to me again in this exact moment.

    It probably does it by writing a "shutdown" file, which it then removes after reading, and then the update requires an additional reboot

    I also loathe how they didn't plan for Bitlocker at all so you have to unlock the hard drive like 5 times until the install finishes. Like it's their OWN FUCKING ENCRYPTION SCHEME. Either figure out a way to save the key briefly, or batch all fresh boot stages at the end with a single reboot like every other OS.

    @lorentz so you're mocking full disk encryption for its inability to unlock the disk on its own?

    @kiki I'm mocking MS for taking a step that requires user attention in the middle of a long-running process an unspecified number of times when both the step and the long-running process are a part of their design.

    @lorentz you just can‘t expect one of the biggest tech companies in the world, with a monopoly on their operating system, to be able to do this kind of stuff.
