Once i forced shut down my PC when it was updating.
I had to reinstall Windows :(
nico alex02 same here
Me too. My old laptop had to run off the power point, and I had to urgently leave somewhere, so I unplugged it, and immediately knew there would be something wrong later, and so It was that I had to learn how to create a windows boot drive from a USB for the first time, so I could reinstall windows

I feel sorry for your losses.
legend has it that if you don't shut down your computer, it is probably on.
What if you didn't power it on before?
lol thats SO funny
Woah
Ha I have an laptop, I can’t “kill the power”
Hmm, yes. The floor here is made out of floor.
I feel a great need to send this to some of my company's clients. At one point, they pulled the plug on their server because it'd locked up.

Anyone remember "It is now safe to turn off your computer."?
You need group policy editor, in there select Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates>>System.
Double click “Do not turn off system power after a Windows system shutdown has occurred”, it will open a new window.
On the left hand side of the screen you will see three options: Not Configured, Enabled, and Disabled.
Select “Enabled” and click “Ok” to save the settings.
I do. When I was a little kid we had a windows 98/XP machine that when turned off would display that on the screen. The orange letters on the black screen terrified me lol.
you can activate it in windows 7, 8, 10

I had a lady who kept turning the computer off by holding the button despite scolding her about it. She eventually killed the hard drive and wanted me to fix it again. I gave her the out of warranty cost due to negligence. This pissed her off and she called the warranty company on me. They called me and took my side.
Mike nice.
Of course they took her side, they don’t want to pay her warranty... Doesn’t mean either of you were in the right... Hard drives fail and unless her HD physically failed you fucked her, curroption doesn’t physically destroy a hard drive a reformat should fix that easy... You just sound like a doushcebag
Bob Saget her hard drive did physically fail. She was literally in every day for 2 weeks. After interviewing her husband she would hold the power button every time when stepped away from the pc and had been since she bought it. I tried explaining how this is bad and the consequences. I told her to just let it go to sleep. I even set it up if she single pressed the power button it would shut off. When it finally failed she yelled at me and blamed me. So sure call me a douchbag.
Bob Saget didn't he literally say "They called me and took my side" and you just said "of course they took her side"
What?!
Bob Saget also have you never heard of bad sectors or corrupted sectors? Reformating does not fix that.

Sounds like bullshit, Minecraft autosaves every 15 seconds. (45 before 1.8)
Not to mention: shutting it down improperly also increases load time the next time you turn on the PC.
Edit: **SOME** of the time. It also depends on what OS, storage and memory you have.
Not necessarily. On certain linux distributions, this isn't the case (Kali for example), but on windows, this is probably true.
Never mentionable: Delete superfetch and use flex tape
Only on Windows 10. Windows 10 ibernates himself instead of fully shutting down, I ALWAYS suggest to disable Fast Startup.
not if you have windows installed on an ssd
Yeah no shit but everyone has turned off their pc improperly
Simple explanation for those who dont get it: if you force a pc shutdown, it might or may have a chance on running chkdsk. If you force a shutdown on a pc while updates, your going to risk system files to be corrupted. Save your unsaved files but dont force a shutdown
If you can’t be bothered waiting for an update you can just press Ctrl+alt+delete and select shutdown without installing updates:)
Or ALT+F4 on the home screen ;)
Thank you so much u help me alot :)
I once turned off my computer while it's updating, and that's where I learned my lesson
Hack Codex lol yeah don’t interrupt that shit LOL 😂

One good thing about forced shutdowns is if viruses effect your computer(the ones that try to literally ruin it) you can shut the computer and the virus will be gone(or at least go to a neutral state) if it's effects didnt permamently corrupt your drive, I've tried it multiple times

I love watching Linus in Ads. First time watching ads from the start to the end. Good Job!
not only does just unplugging your pc cause work loss, but more important, the "needle" that reads the hard drive can actually "slam down" on the hard drive. do this enough times and it could physically damage it.
wow i did not know this holly shit thanks
ZODIAC
so.. if you're doing that, quit doing that!! lol
@@k3nnyo411 what about SSD?
I think this myth was circulating 20 years ago. Since that time HDDs have power capacity to park heads outside of disk surface after power shutdown.
ssd's don't use needles to read data, that's why they are so good and faster. They have no moving parts which makes them more durable.
The 2ds has a sensible function where it tells you to plug in the charger before updating so the data doesn't get corrupted. Tbh, it's very reassuring.
my 3ds probably has the same function :D
All 3DS and 2DS models have this function.

You have to make a video about 100% disk usage
momen sherif Exactly
agree + hard faults
A video like that would be so short its not worth the time
momen sherif yes
High disk usage is so annoying. Had a laptop and no matter which drive was put into the damn thing would always be 100% usage according to task manager. Never tried an SSD in it but the desktop i have now has an SSD and all three of my drives sit roughly around 0-2%
Just got into this..had no one around to show me how its really done..
Thank you tech daddy.

"Do you often find yourself trying to control two computers at once?"
Of course, because I'm swimming in money like Scrooge McDuck apperantly.
JustusLM pretty sure it's called saving money and buying only when you feel the need or every other year, I'm up to 4 and I'm not rich at all. Yes they all work I take care of them.
Johnjs You buy a new Computer every second year?
Let's drop the rich/poor argument for a second, I would like to know why you do this.
What do you need 4 Computers for?
JustusLM it's a bit complex but k let's see. One is a desk computer for normal basic use, one is for gaming or video editing power if I needed, two are for ultra portable touch screen design work or art of some kind. It sounds weird but I like having them for different uses.
They range from i3 to i7.
Johnjs OK, I get your point now, but here's an idea that might actually be useful (you can consider it if you want):
It seems to me like two computers would be fully sufficient: One with the power for gaming and editing, this one will also be used for standard tasks, essentially being the main system. You could upgrade this system when needed, this is far more cost efficient than buying new systems. _Also, having one computer that is your "baby" really is a great feeling._
The other one would be a portable device, maybe even a laptop or "ultrabook". This one would most likely stay relevant in terms of hardware for a while since art or design work aren't that demanding.
Back to the original point: You would only ever end up using both at once when you come home from somewhere, and did something on the portable system that needs to be copied to the main system.
Other than that, you are always only using one.
ah yeah because to run more than 1 pc you need to be rich. i have 3 gaming pc's 2 of which are of a little older generation and i use all 3. 1 as a main gaming rig and workstation, 1 as a Lan party pc as its a lot more solid and less likely to be damaged ad its worth alot less than the main aswell and the third is a watercooled passion project. all these pc's together in total cost me well under $1000 and i haven't found a game that the main cant play on higher settings sooooo yeah you don't need to be rich its called saving and buying used/buying smartly and this is coming from a student...

That IS the real reason why Windows takes so long to shut down. It's seriously sending little messages about your shut down to the NSA, DHS, CIA, and other alphabets about your activities.

The only time I ever used the power supply to shut down was when there was a driver crash and I was stuck on a black screen for 20 minutes
i dont have a driver crash but my 2gb laptop would just not respond
@@lord_khufu what did you do?
This week my computer will stop giving video signal. Keyboard and mouse stopped responding too, otherwise everything remained on. After 5 hours I had to turn off from the power supply button. I turned it on the next day and it seems to work fine but it left me concerned.
@@savantgraphics1542 turn it off and fail to boot, luckily chkdsk run for a while and it’s back on again, probably because i play Minecraft or something, 64mb vram suck, at least it’s none of my concern now, it’s not my laptop so the people I borrowed it from took it back, for online school probably
Once you turned it back on did it work? I have the same problem and not sure what to do
A buddy of mine who’s always been a gamer, currently has a i9 and a rtx 2070 but before he would hold the power button to turn off his pc. He would do this every time he wanted to shut down the computer 😳 the first time I saw him do that was probably the last time he ever did that, I told him Never ever do that again unless you want to keep a functioning computer.
Windows 10 update is the source of most of my pc's shutdowns
go to c:\windows\system32\ take ownership of musnotification.exe, then rename it.
Disable the Windows Update and Windows Modules Installer services. Reenable them when you decide to let windows update.
Update: i _have_ fixed the problem by installing this freeware thing called *Linux* on my computer
_Windows 10 "update" doesn't bother me anymore_
"i have fixed the problem by installing this freeware thing called Linux"
LOL!
One of my friends has a teacher that tells her students to hold the power button on the computers for 10 seconds every time they are done with them... An entire classroom's worth of PCs being forced off, multiple times a day, for most of the year... I wonder how many installations of Windows they break a year... 0_0
the windows shouldn't be damaged if it's files were not accesed when the force shut down accured, unless the hard drive was reading\writing adjecent files. But it will probably happened sometimes.
Why would they even do that? It's not like they need to quickly do something. Just shutting it down is such an obvious thing to do in this case.
explains why when i was a kid a good chunk of the computers didnt work
Yumry Gameplays back when I was in elementary school. while the teacher never instructed that kind of behavior, many of the kids would still do it and I even told them they shouldn’t. I would never advise doing this on a computer unless it is running so slow it won’t shut down or restart, or if it freezes completely.
TheAwkwardGuy, because for some reason school systems think people with teaching certificates are capable of teaching something that should be taught by someone who understands computers (and has the relevant education for that). I've never understood how an English major who is a teacher is qualified to teach ANY type of computing course.
I still remember the time where I was playing terraria and we needed to go somewhere, so I shut down but my dad wanted to go quickly and was frustrated at the shut down process, and just yanked the cord and when we got back the world file was corrupted
Reminds me of playing tanki online and being near to the dropped box... And... My electricity is gone when someone thought its a perfect time to check wires :))
Loool, that game is a legend
"Mom that smells like corrupted data"😂😂😂😂😂

I have had to do hard shutdowns during overclocking that have definitely screwed the Windows install. It's happened to me more than once but if you're pushing the limits you need to expect bad stuff to happen.

There are some programs when they crash they still want to run and then they lock up the entire operating system beyond it. In that case a control alt delete or windows shutdown will not work. Super rare but when such an event happens you are forced to abruptly pull the plug. like putting a patient into a coma. Fortunately windows 10 saves a lot of save points during it's update to prevent registry issues. Only thing you have to do is reupdate your os and that is a very minor thing.
Now make a video on what happens if you shut down your PS4 while autosaving
Dennis FAP template?
Oh boy. What goes on in that office building?
The lesson is PULL THE CABLE AND NEVER PRES SHUTDOWN SO WIN 10 DOSENT UPDATE
No to deal with just unplug the power cord or never shutdown your computer aka 24/7
Yeah just hope you never ever have to restart your PC for any software update... Your living a pipe dream brother
If you type the shutdown command to the the windows command line it Should buy pass the "windows is updating" BS! But I don't game so I switched to Linux and don't have to deal with the BS Windows 10 puts out!

I think Windows should display on the update screen "Powering off may run the risk of corrupting the operating system and preventing it from booting up." so people don't do it anyway.
That is a good suggestion for Microsoft.
I thought my pc was acting weird, trying to do many things at once. One of those things was updating. I rarely use the power button, but I did this time. I am now looking for software to reinstall on it. Lesson learned. This video is excellent for explaining why that happened to me. I didn't know enough to know that this combination corrupted my software. I do know that I'll have to reinstall windows, and watch these videos from my phone in the meantime. I've just subscribed and liked this video.
reinstalling windows would be a pain. but imagine reinstalling gentoo!
Liam Mc Cormick What? Reinstalling Gentoo isn't so bad plus it's likely you could recover your installation.
Have you ever even installed it in the first place? You're right though, recovery should be as simple as plugging in the device you originally installed with, chrooting and then re-emerging or reinstalling whatever file or files got corrupted.
Liam Mc Cormick TBH no I didn't but I looked it up on the wiki. It's a pain compared to Ubiquity/Calamares/Anaconda or even Arch install process but , absolutely, it's not that bad.
Good old chroot FTW!
I've effectively done that 5 times on Gentoo, and 3 times on Funtoo. It's not too bad so long as you fix the bugs in whatever software you install quickly, and keep a nice backup of your configuration files. If you can do that the worst part of installing is waiting for packages to compile (my current install would take about a day, but that's an edge case)
edge case? nah, I've recompiled every package on the system on several occasions when updating gcc (should have read the wiki on that note) and it took about 24 hours.
When my game glitches i might as well go shut the electricity off
Will probably work, but is the riskiest thing I ever heard of. You may need to system restore or even worse factory reset it and lose hundreds hours of gameplay

You can say that again,I've had times when "Broken Windows 10" was being the mother of all nut crackers and in the midst of updating my PC froze which caused me to force a restart which of course led to "Broken Windows 10" misbehaving worse than ever.Thank you for the video and may God bless you and your family.
Just yesterday I lost my wifi connection while windows did the "shutdown and update" routine. That resulted in windows trying to download forever. I hate those moments when it's clearly microsofts fault that you have to hard-shutdown your computer.
developandplay Right, because it's Microsoft's fault that your WiFi dropped xD
Okay, MAYBE there is a solution to check Download Speed to a certain degree while updating the system, so in case of a lost connection Windows just moves the update, but I am pretty sure it would have been implemented already if it were that easy
Silvan Verhoeven Well every other Software I know simply pauses the download or worse quits the download. Of course the lost connection isn't Microsofts fault but the absence of error handling is annoying me.
developandplay Sure, every other program does it. But every other program is not the OS. I am not an expert, maybe it is really dumb by Microsoft not to handle this. But maybe it were too complicated or even impossible.
Maybe you can tell how difficult it is to handle that as an OS when updating the OS. If you know for sure that it can be done easily, I am sorry for discussing this, if you don't, that might be the reason why Microsoft never implemented it
At least on Android, the whole system update file is downloaded before starting the update... Not sure if it's the same way on Windows and you hard reset it before the update itself had actually started (as it couldn't start because the file wasn't downloaded yet)... But I do agree, they should redirect you to an error message, into a shutdown and rescheduled update.
It was before windows 8. Windows 7 still offers the ability to download the update, but not install it so it can do it when you shutdown. Windows 8 was the version where Microsoft thought "everyone must be connected to the internet, lets have them all download and install at the same time!"
One of the few reasons why I HAVE NOT updated to 10.
If anyone has seen a Linux server shutdown you can see exactly what it’s doing.

A little tip. Forced shutdown is much safer if there is no drive activity. If you see the drive light blinking actively, it's not frozen, it's doing stuff.
Great explanation! :) Does anybody still can remember, Windows told you "it's now safe to turn off your computer" :-p
good old DOS/95..
my FreeBSD 7.2 was telling me that back in the day. Arch Linux all the way since then.
Before ACPI
my 98SE compaq was like that.
AT power supplies that had a physical switching mechanism rather than momentary switches.
not shutting down my laptop properly is how the hard drive died
Your analogies are the best. Some systems need a hard restart. It's like the Italian tune up in the pc world
What i hate most is the message "Update And Shut Down"
Kermo Sarapson *laughs in Windows 10 Pro and Ubuntu*
Sometimes there is the option to only shutdown. I have the Fall Creators Update ready to install and I could only shutdown if I wanted to. You can also configure the usage times of your PC, during which your computer will not automatically reboot, but will instead wait until the schedule is over and then it will check if you're actually still using the computer or you can schedule the update.
In general, you shouldn't postpone updates for too long or your computer might reboot by itself. Find a moment when you can afford to not use the computer and let it reboot. Do note that updates are your computer's first line of defence against malware and hackers.
Kermo Sarapson I don’t like that windows doesn’t ask twice to shut down. Mac asks “are you sure you want to shut down” I wish windows did that because sometimes I miss click shutdown instead of sleep...
Yeah, sometimes you know you're about to lose electrical power (and need a hard shutdown anyways). Frankly ANY kind of forced update (including before a user-initiated shutdown) is excessive and risks data loss.
DreamWarriorFish Much security, wow.
The last time I shut down my PC was 2 months ago.
I only hibernate
Same. I like the white noise from the fans when I go to sleep.
Same, only shutdown for hardware changes. Atleast my fans don't spin while hibernating, there's a slight coil whine, but I'd need to have my head inside the chassis to hear it.
Oh my, hibernation causes a whole host of issues if you don't couple it with regular shutdowns (like once a week). You may just have such a beast of a machine that you don't notice, but you'll see performance degradation across the board using bringing it into and out of a hibernation state presumably everyday and only rebooting every few months. Side note: Windows 10 is MUCH better than Win 7 at hibernation, so it's not nearly as noticeable if you're running Win10...Win7 though good God it was awful about that.
hibernate is stupid. S3 standby is your friend.
Uhm.. i think ibernating sends to crap the lifespan of your HDD, and If you have an SSD is even worse...
i would say the worst is when you have hard drives set up on like "fast mode" cant remember what its called it has lots of the data saved in ram and cache while the hard drives are slowly updating so you dont get bogged down. kinda like when you have to disconnect usb drives . during the "shutdown" is when windows makes sure to save the data.

My computer only wants to update when I'm running late leaving work and trying to catch my train
Shutting down a computer is like a mom trying to put her kids to bed. That explanation works for me.
That is a good analogy
More like "Shutting down a computer is like mom telling me to pause online game".

me: isn't this techquicky?
this video kinda needs part 2.
What happens in the process, if the computer works with battery. What if the device battery is going bad and phone/laptop shuts down multiple times every week without warning? What if computer is in some sort of sleep state before this happens? Can you break a phone by having a bad battery in for years?

3:17 that 1336 files at the bottom was 1 off...
LEET
What do you mean by "one off"?
Hazy J 1337 aka LEET
Guest 1337 lol
1 number off before it reached 1337 wich is LEET in letters
1:29 And that’s why I only put windows in hibernation mode, it’s powered off so you can cut the power, your data is technically “saved” in a RAM file, and it starts up almost immediately
It’s just perfect
Problem I had was the “Preparing to Configure Windows Do not switch off” every time I shut down after using my flight sim X. I initially solved the problem by leaving the laptop for a few minutes after exiting the game so it could wind down. That worked until I had to do the annual massive 4 hour windows 10 update in November. Now I get the Configuring windows every-time I shut down :(
The obvious answer is that system 32 gets deleted duh
lol
Under core64?
nuggets321 wait, so that gets rid of the virus?
Yeah lol
nuggets321 thats what I had to do with my ram I download. The advertised tech man with an odd accent said so.
4:34 Brain.exe has stopped working.
SqueezY * XD 😂

do u mean logic.exe
Mulindwa Joseph no he mean brain.exe
anyways I cant find the difference:
@Techquikie I actually tested opening my laptop 24/7 for many years (ignore some shortage/electric issue), and my laptop has been working fine, no need to wait windows to load up, but my HDD is broken from old age
When I was watching this video I got an pulseway ad with Linus
4:34 There ya go
I turned off my pc minutes before the power went out. Lucky me.
Ups x2
Ups x3
UPS or surge protector don't protect from a direct, or close, lightning strike. That will fry everything plugged into outlets in your building or house and have seen it happen around 10 times to businesses or people I know. In Texas during lightning storms I completely unplug the two surge protectors that are powering my 4K screen, computer, PS4 Pro, and Xbox One x.
Most of the times, if you power off your pc during an update, it will just delete the updates file and try to update again or just boot up with the previous version. In the worst case windows recovery will boot up and delete corrupted files and install them properly.
Linus just transformed from a 24yr/o to his 50's in just a cut ✨
While I always use the “Shut Down” option, I never though that an instant power-off would cause significant issues.
Thank you for keeping people informed.
Well you know now
I found Linus' reaction to Dennis finding Linus' face funny very funny

The industrial lettuce blockade now knows you.
great vid, shared with nephew and nieces.. These tech youths need to know.
Also allows the hardware enough time to cool down to prevent physical damage
