It's unclear why January's security update for Windows 11 has been so disastrous.

Vibe coding. Not even once.
For those experiencing issues with boot failures, we had to put together a whole new guide on how to fix it. While we wanted this out earlier, it takes a few hours to research and write it all up
but people say Windows doesn't require any tinkering! only Linux does! /s

Microsoft trained people into believing that updates are dangerous.
Mfs will see this and say "Linux is free if your time is worthless"

Windows 10 forced an update on me yesterday in the middle of a game. After 30 minutes of it being stuck at 80% I said fuck it and rebooted. It's time to pull the trigger and get off of dual booting.

As someone who did tech support as a side gig for my last company, this happens literally every year so I try to keep up with news. Disastrous, bricking-computer-tier updates in January and February have been the norm for years now.

Forced software updates that brick a device seems like really good grounds for suing for the cost of the device. If enough people do it, the cost for litigating all of that would be quite high.

Maybe Microslop should reconsider paying interns to use LLMs to work on the kernel. I hope the contractors they have to hire to fix this earn $2k an hour.
