I was at this school event where my laptop was plugged in near a lot of foot traffic. Admittedly I was too lazy to get a new battery and it's partly my fault. So my plug got kicked a bunch of times. My laptop restarted and updated, then restarted a bunch more fucking times because people kept kicking the cable. Now Windows is broken, and even using a repair USB won't fix it.

Like seriously, why does Windows, and sometimes Android, decide now's the time to do an update after a hard restart?!?!?

Feck.

Yeah, there should be a flag set on a normal shutdown that is required for updates.

Or just use Linux and update at your convenience.
