“On systems with Secure Launch enabled, attempts to shut down, restart, or hibernate after applying the January patches may fail to complete.”
Be hard for it to stay on with no power cord/battery…
Same as when my computer refuses to finish writing to a flash drive. When I press that “safely remove hardware” button, it is not a request, it is a warning. If the data is corrupted after I yank the stupid thing, so be it
microslop patch
I’m sure the patch was something super important like shoving more Microslop Copilot in your face, making Copilot OS even slower, and using Copilot to spy on you better
Yank the cord
Looks like we are going back to the old days of the big switch

I can hear this picture
It made the most satisfying “clunk” sound 🤤
I remember the switch was red, but that might be some sort of false memory.
Copilot created this patch with pride.

When you’re the only game in town you can be as shitty as you want to be.
Everyday I am happier I’ve moved to Linux Mint on my personal computer and have macOS at work.
Wtf kind of insanity is this? Run out of battery then asshole.
I was just thinking unplug the desktop.

Install Linux Problem Solved.
That explains about my work laptop. I swear that I clicked shutdown before I went on two week Christmas holidays!
Shutdown doesn’t actually turn off the PC anymore. You need to do a restart if you actually want to “shut down” the computer all the way.
I see way too many systems where the CPU has been up for more than 100 days.
Open control panel, power, “change when pressing buttons”, show other options, uncheck fast startup.
You guys still use windows ?🤨
Do people not just hold down the power button anymore?
modern windows tries to trick you into not doing that. if you hold for a little bit it turns the screen off so you think it’s turned off when it really hasn’t, then if you hold a little longer it turns the screen back on and tells you to please stop holding the power button, then finally a little after that the computer actually turns off. why the hardware even makes that possible is beyond me
That’s so weird.
I guess I’ve just programmed myself to hold that power button long enough.
Won’t be much longer before we won’t even be able to pull the plug.
Unplug the shit
Can confirm. Was stuck at “You’re 0% there” screen for like 20 minutes. Then it “unfrozen” itself and rebooted just fine. But yeah I wish I had the time to move to Linux soon.
