After working in IT for 18 years, updating thousands of computers and servers every month...I certainly can say avoid shutdown your computer when it's updating. In my experience there is a 5% of chance of something breaking up and taking several hours to fix (if you know how to fix of course). Only shutdown the pc if the updates is running for more than a hour and there is no sign of progress.
@@jamesplays7230 To force the shutdown of the PC press the power button for about 5 seconds. If the computer is updating and you force shutdown, there is a chance to damage the operational system.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
We love when you’re updating drivers and the power cable to your hard drive magically decides to pop out for no reason. I kid you not, I started the update, found myself a screen of death, opened my PC, and the cable was just chilling there next to the hard drive. Wasn’t a power outage, nothing even bumped the PC. The cable just apparently really didn’t like its job.
@@moosa1461 Yep, permanent Startup Repair Loop. No solution since it was the OS itself that was fucked. I WAS able to save my files, new hard drive and salvaged everything important by combing through the corrupted mess as an external drive. Always remember: If your files are biffed and it looks like there's no way out, all you need is a laptop to salvage your old files and a new drive. If you already own a laptop, you can get a newer, probably-better hard drive for like 80 bucks, just bite the bullet. Save yourself the headache.

@Why T Windows 7 wasn't in existance until 9 years after I left school with Abitur. So no, I have not. Quite the contrary. Since our school's designated admin was barely up to snuff, me and my best friend were practically responsible for all of the infrastructure. And responsible we were. We also finished with the two top grades of our class despite not having fudged any of it. And we both also got girls. Go figure.
When I was job hunting (IT support), sometimes I would be asked "what have you been doing to keep up tech wise?" and my response has been to praise the density of information found in LTT (and affiliated) videos. Some recruiters did not find this to be an acceptable answer.

Had something like this happen recently due to a failing power supply. Windows would not boot, and after running some tests I discovered that my System partition (where boot files are stored, including the MBR) was no longer recognized (aka likely corrupt). Thankfully I was able to create a new System partition and use a third-party utility to generate new boot files and a new MBR.

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.
Note: While odds are good that nothing major will happen if you lose power during a Windows update, if you lose power during a BIOS update might potentially brick your computer. You won't lose your data, though.
A bios update can be recovered, depending on the board, some can be flashed by putting the correct binary file on a usb stick and putting it in a particular usb port and turning on the PC.
@Zwenk Wiel could be a power outage. The internal components may never fail but if you lose power, not much you could do unless you had a UPS installed. Of course yeah it’s rare, but it does happen
believe me as a computer repair guy generally non of these solutions work. You will save time and money just reinstalling windows rather than trying to fix it. keep a backup of your data every day if you are using windows.
I saved a bunch of time and headache by not letting Windows update at all. The last time I did an update, I went out of town for the weekend. It was done when I got back, but I dont even want to know how long it took. I know at least 4 - 5 hours. And all they added was a damn weather widget in the task bar.

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?
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"
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.
It was ironic this video appeared in my CZcams 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.
"operating system not found" came up on a black (or blue??) screen. It was a struggle getting things back in order but I stumbled through it. I'm not tech or computer savvy and can't remember what all I did but I'm back up and running. (smile !)
I was just about to restart my PC after i finish watching this.. meanwhile i lookback at the screen just about the end and the screen showed 30% complete lol😂😂
once a time my windows was updating and the lights went off. and after the lights came i checked my computer and saw it not starting several times. after a lot of tries i saw it reverting changes made to my computer and restarting several times. when it finished i saw my pc finally starting but instead of the blue windows 10 normal screen it was purple. i didn't know what's going on but at last i fixed it, i don't remember how because it was a long time ago but i did.
It's funny how one windows update that took 8 hours ruined my laptop and I had to go back to a system restore point. the c: drive looked like it got cleared after the update finished installing
I mean, you just set the minute hand to rotate at a steady speed and then you set the hour hand to rotate at 1/12 that speed. It would not take less effort to make them turn wrongly.
I accidentally powered off my pc today during the start of an update and when i tried to boot it back, it would not boot. I tried many things. Automatic repair wont do anything. I guess I have to reinstall Windows now. Currently using a live Linux bootable. All my files are safe though.
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 feel like shutting off a W10 PC during an update practically causes your PC to have a heart attack compared to XP that just brushes it off like a scrape
It was stuck on "Preparing Windows Do not turn off the computer!" for a long time, and I just turned off and on my computer again, then Windows never booted again. But I figured if it is stuck, and I turn it off fast, nothing will happen.
@@Senilityy nothing major happened! :D I'm still alive haha, my laptop just went straight back and updated properly in like 5 mins. gonna have to try that again sometime :)

@Zwenk Wiel could be a power outage. The internal components may never fail but if you lose power, not much you could do unless you had a UPS installed. Of course yeah it’s rare, but it does happen
@Zwenk Wiel I prefer to do all my bios updates during heavy thunder storms.
I'm not even having any of these problems but I still feel relieved watching this
believe me as a computer repair guy generally non of these solutions work. You will save time and money just reinstalling windows rather than trying to fix it. keep a backup of your data every day if you are using windows.

I saved a bunch of time and headache by not letting Windows update at all. The last time I did an update, I went out of town for the weekend. It was done when I got back, but I dont even want to know how long it took. I know at least 4 - 5 hours. And all they added was a damn weather widget in the task bar.

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?
nah you can go into registry hit load hive and load rem sam and change it so you can login as admin then change your perms
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?
gave me a heart attack hearing "but i did john"
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"
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...

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

It was ironic this video appeared in my CZcams 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 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.
You know whatt's worse? Doing a disk health check. You don't even know if Windows will ever load again.
