I f*cking hate windows(love/ hate abusive relationship for sure). All my installs fail or get corrupted. No matter how careful i am.
I keep nothing on the C: drive. All my data on separate drives. I backup my windows drive monthly in fear that my PC might decide to brick itself after a bad update or faulty shutdown.
As I type this,my desktop no longer booting and its been “attempting to repair windows” for 3hrs now. Good thing i made a backup on a separate drive 2 months ago, lol.
Anyone else here instinctively take measures to hedge against windows unreliability??
simple. disable windows update.
if you want to update for some reason (features maybe?), backup before you update. after updates are completed, disable windows update again.
