Updates ALWAYS break my laptop and I need to hard reset during them when the screen literally tells you NOT to turn off your pc.
I'm afraid one of these days it's just going to brick.
on the complete opposite side, i somehow managed to not brick my system on updates since i switched to archlinux. not even once.
To be fair, I have had some issues like my screen not displaying anything all of a sudden using Arch, but I think that was more NVIDIA's fault. Adding a boot parameter ended up fixing that.
Windows updates have always sucked. It sucked in XP, it sucked in Vista, it sucked in 7, it sucked in 8, it sucked in 10, and it sucks in 11. Slow, forced restarts, fucking up your shit and bricking your device.
try going into network settings and enabling metred connection mode, it disables updates because it thinks you have a data cap.
Have you set up a recovery drive? If not, now's the time to make it a priority.
I'd also extract the Windows product key and keep it somewhere safe, maybe put it in an email to yourself? That way if shit goes haywire you will be able to do a fresh install from a pirated windows image but you'll still be able to use the same product key.

Just for the record, you don't need to use a pirated copy in a case like that, you can get an ISO directly from Microsoft 👍
Lol what does it say about me that I've never considered that it might be possible to get a legit ISO from Microsoft before and my mind immediately jumps to piracy?
Thanks for the info, that's legit very useful to know.
