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
“DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PC”

I feel sorry for your losses.
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.
I liked 🙂

@ I'll be the kind tech in this case! Besides, there is not perfect protection for computers from their end users. Appreciate the encouragement!

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

Sounds like bullshit, Minecraft autosaves every 15 seconds. (45 before 1.8)
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.

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.

All 3DS and 2DS models have this function.

My good ol New 3DS XL protecting me from suffering
Majority of electronic devices do it
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.

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.
Yeah, my parents grinded this into me. It pissed me off so much that so many other students at school just press the force-off button. The only time I turn off my computer by removing its power is if a game crashes, and I can't go to my desktop or close the app. The absolutely last choice.

"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...

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
I accidently once shut down my computer improperly, (it had a. Virus) and when I switched it on the virus was gone lmao.
LOL ME TOO
you killed it with data corruption xd
Welp, YOU GOT LUCKY! YOU JUST CORRUPTED A VIRUS TO DEATH! YOU HAVE JUST SAVED SOME MONEY RECOVERING YOUR COMPUTER! *applause*
Or you had a rootkit and on reboot it finished hiding itself
good job!
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 have a computer still trying shut down from 10 20 2017 , do I still wait?
Well that's abnormal, there's no 20th month in the calendar so your PC might have messed up somewhere.

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...

You yelling at Dennis was worth the rest of the video.
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.
4:36 i almost choked on my food

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.

The industrial lettuce blockade now knows you.
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.
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.
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.

The burp technique has landed me many 2nd dates
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.
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.

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!
Thanks for that.
When Vista was still a thing and when I used it, I usually would force shut it off cause it was so slow with shutting down.
Basically this is probably why the computer won’t work anymore. It also did those disk checkups a lot too.
Painful Windows Me story - it came with my new pc, so i got to use it and even liked it, until after a couple years, it stopped shutting down. Literally. Standard power down did everything except shut it off...
It might be useful to shut down your computer improperly when a virus is running through the files trying to find something to infect because you might corrupt the virus >:D
edit: its a joke calm down stop arguing
shut up
*microsoft would like to hire you*
*might
You should NEVER shut down when there is a Virus on the system
this is true, but this is very risky. you may need to system restore.
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
My computer is glitchy and when i try to turn off It just reset by no reason and the I need to press down the button. What can I do now??
When the screen goes black and the computer starts booting up again you can press and hold the Power button without risk of corrupting your files.
@@guilhermems thx
Been doing hard shut down since 1996 AND I'M NOT STOPPING NOW. YOLO
if this twitter, i’ll retweet everyday
same, never had a problem ever
YOSOLO (Your Operating System Only Live Once), and your HardDisc/StorageMedia too.
rip dennis >.
will dennis fired?
yes

Lesson to learn....
Press start then shut down and then get the fuck out of there.
Is it going to experience a meltdown ? Because if that's the case , your reply just saved alot of lives .
Psycho BlackBeard open cmd and type: shutdown /s /f /t 0
Thats the best way to turn your pc off
Put it into a .bat file and then you can just run it with ease if you ever need to.
wtf
I once heard it compared to throwing your car into Park while going down the freeway. Could be useful in a pinch, but not the way you wanna park.
Its actually doesn't work. Autos have a mechanism that prevents the park claw from engaging anymore than about 1-2Km/h. Any attempt will just cause it to ratchet the claw, hence the loud fast clicking sound it makes if you try.
If it was possible to get it to engage it would instantly lock the tires as the teeth on the drum for the park are more like solid steel Lego blocks. The teeth are massive.

That sounds like a guaranteed way to destroy a transmission, whereas shutting down abruptly just has a chance of corrupting data.
I knew most of this information already, but I applaud you, Linus, for explaining it so eloquently. I would add, you can try SLEEP MODE. I run my PC upwards of a week at a stretch WITHOUT POWERING DOWN! This is like having your cake and eating it, too. I mean, I can awaken my PC in a few seconds and avoid that happy horsesh*t of cold boots, system updates, or memory checking altogether. There's one caveat: don't put your PC to sleep for more than 12 hours at a stretch. This stresses certain buffers out and will likely cause your rig to crash unexpectedly.

I never understood why Microsoft thinks that during shut down or start up is a good time to install system updates. That's literally the two times you *don't* want it to install updates. Your computer sits idle for hours at a time while it's on, and you try to shut it down only to have a screen telling you you have to wait while it installs 208 updates (3:37).
You think when you power on your computer you are going to work with some useful application you need, while Microsoft think that you power it on to allow Windows to do some work for Windows.
This is a question who owns what.
I used Ubuntu (Linux) for several years. It has update application highlighted in tray when some set of software requires update. Every properly installed application with OS registered repository obtains updates from their own repositories. This single OS application shows you that some application(s) or OS itself got an update. If you have time to do the update you start update procedure explicitely, and you don't need to worry that some of your hundreds installed applications probably need update too after OS got its own updates.
You can't install updates while the system is running because the system needs to use the files being updated... Think about it for a second. You can't upgrade svchost while it's loading a minimum of 30 windows services at any given moment.
@@someoneelse5005 There's no excuse for not being able to implement this, just like Linux has. unix.stackexchange.com/questions/47555/why-updating-a-running-linux-system-is-not-problematic. Essentially the only time you need to reboot Linux is to upgrade the kernel. And even that is being done away with with live kernel patching.
@@multiwebinc The problem is that in order to make it possible to update a live system on windows, you have to change the entire way file access is locked. While I can't defend this backward logic in windows (that should have gone away a long time ago), it is really not easy to change it without messing quite a number of things up, including application compatibility, for apps that rely on windows file locking mechanisms.
@@multiwebinc but copying Linux is always a bad idea for Microsoft, remember when you last learned about copyright?
Linus is spot on but as a systems programmer, I can tell you that the operating systems vendors could make shut down much faster for the common case where you don't have files modified and don't have data waiting to be flushed to file systems, etc. With a better design, shutdown could normally happen in less than a second. It's a pet peeve of mine.
IF the power doesn't go....;)
Y-you too
That's why you should have a UPS.
Iam Sam If you want to spend an extra $100 - $300 sure.
You have been shutting down your computer the wrong way every time it needs to be in cmd or power shell type shutdown -s for maximum hacker ability
Well my updates dont even update so fuck windows
All my plebian officemates just yeets the power cord and call it a day.
Steps to fixing a PC broken from hard resetting
1. Get a USB with your preferred OS installed (you can install it yourself, and make sure it has the right capacity)
2. Insert it into your broken PC
3. Turn the PC on
4. Install windows
5. go into your file explorer
6. right click on your hard drive NOT USB
7. click format
8. wait for it to format
9. install windows onto the hard drive
10. turn off ur pc
11. take out the usb
12. turn on the pc
13. install windows
14. reinstall all ur files if u can
15. you are now done enjoy ur pc
Welp, that sucks.
lol. I use my grandma's gaming pc, that she got from my uncle, but she ended up breaking the gpu so it runs of the intergrated graphics. (she broke it because she thought nvidia was a virus XD so she never updated it and one day it wouldn't allow us to update it anymore so a few months later it ended up dying.)
lol.
haha.
In very rare cases hard resetting your PC can lead to hardware issues and in that case you will need new hardware before doing this.
Can you do a video on:
- ZFS/BTRFS
- Docker
- 3d printing tehnologes (SLS,AFM,SLT,...)
ZFS and BTRFS? Why are file systems interesting? The focus should be on advantages these have over common ones.
YankeeSpirit yes I would like to hear the + and the - of them. There usige, there histori,....
alymuni it’s called wikipedia
Metario dude, you can say that about anything this channel covers, some people just prefer this form of content.
I just have a Commodore 64 I just turn it off! No shutdown feature what's all these fancy ui your talking about?
damn! I heard about that one, it has the i9-9900hk with the rtx 2080 ti, right!?
@Overlord spudpiggy ahaha i was just kidding 😄
