Turn on your PC in Advance next time. You'll never know when the update pops up again.
Nothing happens when you turn off the PC during update.
*BIOS Update:- Imma ruin this man's whole PC.
can't you just remove the CMOS battery to fix the issue?
@@pixelmaster98I don't think so🤔🤨
But you can remove it to rest bios password 🤨🤨🤨
WTH memory bios have🤔🤔
@@pixelmaster98 Not always. BIOS updates change the programming on the BIOS chips themselves, which is very different from CMOS settings. Unless your motherboard has a special USB port and the button for flashing the BIOS, failing the BIOS update could very well brick the motherboard.
@@TheEDFLegacy Luckily some motherboards allow you to remove the bios chip to replace it with a new one from the manufacturer. I had to do that myself ~10 years ago when a BIOS update failed. IT was $15 to get the new chip.
Many newer motherboards have a secondary bios chip as well. So, if the primary chip is unreadable due to a failed update, the secondary bios chip data is used to reprogram the prior chip to previous version.
Bios update during a thunderstorm is the best thrill in the world.

We love when you’re updating drivers and the power cable to your hard drive magically decides to pop out for no reason.
I kid you not, I started the update, found myself a screen of death, opened my PC, and the cable was just chilling there next to the hard drive. Wasn’t a power outage, nothing even bumped the PC. The cable just apparently really didn’t like its job.
The cable didnt get paid enough.
Then what happened? Did your files get corrupted or something
@@moosa1461
Yep, permanent Startup Repair Loop. No solution since it was the OS itself that was fucked.
I WAS able to save my files, new hard drive and salvaged everything important by combing through the corrupted mess as an external drive.
Always remember: If your files are biffed and it looks like there's no way out, all you need is a laptop to salvage your old files and a new drive. If you already own a laptop, you can get a newer, probably-better hard drive for like 80 bucks, just bite the bullet. Save yourself the headache.
After working in IT for 18 years, updating thousands of computers and servers every month...I certainly can say avoid shutdown your computer when it's updating. In my experience there is a 5% of chance of something breaking up and taking several hours to fix (if you know how to fix of course). Only shutdown the pc if the updates is running for more than a hour and there is no sign of progress.
What to do i shut it down while updating and when i turned it on it shows balck screen and then it's stuck in 7% what to do
@@sunjung7930 same
How to shutdown?
@@jamesplays7230 To force the shutdown of the PC press the power button for about 5 seconds. If the computer is updating and you force shutdown, there is a chance to damage the operational system.

always do that because windows stuck in update everytime, man i hate windows
User: "I'm using notepad now as my file browser!"
IT: "Wait, what?!"
User: "I saw it on Linus Tech Tips!"
I’ve actually done that using the install disc more times than I want to admit.
I usually look at the files that way while installing Windows, because I can.
That notepad tip is actually big, I never heard of that before, but it makes sense and would make life much easier than trying to move things around via command prompt.
@@Hotshot2k4
for me, learning how to use command prompt was the best thing about using a computer so far. "xcopy" can be more useful than using the notepad tip. i used that cause i was resistant to learning commands but after a while even that trick stopped working.
now that i am comfortable using command prompt, i use "/capture-image" whenever i make an important change so that i don't have to redo my settings after reinstalling windows should things go awry.
When I was job hunting (IT support), sometimes I would be asked "what have you been doing to keep up tech wise?" and my response has been to praise the density of information found in LTT (and affiliated) videos. Some recruiters did not find this to be an acceptable answer. Joke's on them, this was basically a condensed CompTIA A+ module in a 4 minute video, AND I found a job where the technical recruiter recognized how much you can learn from LTT AND I get paid more than the jobs where the recruiters were snobs :P
In university I often wondered, why I need to sit there for 90 minutes when you could easily explain everything in 10 ...
That feeling when you finish watching video and you are ready to use your newly gained knowledge but update is already done...Nice :)
Turning off a PC during an update is like replying to emails that say to not to reply
bruh lol
Thats a really good way to put it ngl
except one can lead to data loss and the other one to an automated bot answering the same stuff over and over, for as long as you try it
Not really

Had a mini heart attack seeing the “getting windows ready” in the beginning watching TH-cam full screen.

@@steemlenn8797 or the sound stutter that comes before/during a bluescreen...
Always gets me even on my phone
@@hazgebu ewwww yeah, that's a gross one too.
3 sounds every Windows user knows. The startup, the error and the bluescreen hammering.
Actually one of the biggest laughs in my life was when MS very proudly announced that most users will never see the bluescreen again (Win7?) - and then I found the activated "hide bluescreen" checkbox in the options. I literally rofl'ed the next two minutes.
Had something like this happen recently due to a failing power supply. Windows would not boot, and after running some tests I discovered that my System partition (where boot files are stored, including the MBR) was no longer recognized (aka likely corrupt). Thankfully I was able to create a new System partition and use a third-party utility to generate new boot files and a new MBR.
A bios update during a thunder storm must be highway to hell
That doesn't affect Laptops it will only affect mains powered PCs

I did it to save my all my precious data once. These windows crash are awful 😑.
@Why T Windows 7 wasn't in existance until 9 years after I left school with Abitur. So no, I have not.
Quite the contrary. Since our school's designated admin was barely up to snuff, me and my best friend were practically responsible for all of the infrastructure. And responsible we were. We also finished with the two top grades of our class despite not having fudged any of it. And we both also got girls. Go figure.
I would use Xcopy in cmd to retrieve personal files when windows 8 got corrupted. I am glad i learned that trick.
Instructions unclear, turned it off, crashed and hasn't turned on since
you can avoid any update if you open the shut down prompt by being on the desktop and alt+f4, there you can have the option to reboot or turn off without updating, i just do it most of the time because muscle memory
I clicked on this because I was curious, I learned a whole lesson.
Same and it was in my recommendations
Same
It was recommended and I was curious
You mean you switch it off... right?
Yeah, I learnt not to be Linus
The note pad trick is something I never knew. Glad I know that now
It can be done with any application that allows saving through the Windows interface as it's simply using a section of Explorer. Notepad is just the one with the most minimal overhead so it's the least likely to cause problems.
Me too.
@@lordlundar That's even better to know
dont tell anyone but i used to use that trick in middle school to pull other students data they had saved to the computer instead of the school network. It was really funny until one of my teachers heard about it.
That's what I call "The Big Brain move".
I actually bought a UPS because I was worried about what would happen if the power went out during an update. At least I now have light when the power goes out. Thanks for the info.
As a technician, and thus someone who sees far more broken system than working ones, I might be a little biased negatively against windows update. That being said, it usually is able to recover from power loss during an update. Though, sometimes, I've seen systems have a power loss while supposedly non-critical updates are being applied in the background that required an OS reinstall. In general, just don't cut power.
User: "Will my computer be fine if I turn it off during an update?"
Linus: "Well yes, but actually no"
Having rescued 2 friends laptops from bad win10 updates last month.
Thats really accurate
"yes, but actually no" accurate
Well yes, but maybe not
Yes it will if it's non-critical updates, No it won't if it is. But if it is, There's still a possibility to fix, If not and all else fails you can still get to your files. Does this sum the video up?
@@mozzjones6943 perfect.

This goes back at least a decade- - but I once accidentally kicked my computer power cord out while doing a Windows XP update on a Dell desktop, - - and I had to take the computer to my local computerguy to get it working again, and my hard drive got partly corrupted.

It was ironic this video appeared in my TH-cam feed because just a few hours ago I experienced a problem you referred to with an update. The update was taking forever; I think it was updating for over 90 minutes, alternately displaying the message about an update in progress so I shouldn't turn off my PC, and then a message saying nothing was detected on HDMI. I got tired on waiting so I shut off my PC by holding down the power button for 5 seconds, waited a minute or so, then turned it back on. The update proceeded without a hitch in less than a minute.
He's smiling. He's telling me the exact reason why the computer won't get past the welcome screen and he's smiling.

Note: While odds are good that nothing major will happen if you lose power during a Windows update, if you lose power during a BIOS update might potentially brick your computer. You won't lose your data, though.
it's almost like he said that in the video...
A bios update can be recovered, depending on the board, some can be flashed by putting the correct binary file on a usb stick and putting it in a particular usb port and turning on the PC.
@Zwenk Wiel Just buying a motherboard with either a bios flashback or dual bios seems easier if you're afraid of updating it 🤔
@Zwenk Wiel could be a power outage. The internal components may never fail but if you lose power, not much you could do unless you had a UPS installed. Of course yeah it’s rare, but it does happen

My brother shuts down his PC every time upon an update. His PC originally never gets past them so he just shuts it down and windows is like "okay cheif ill let it slide this time"
As an IT tech I see that as an indication that windows doesn't work as intended and needs some attention. Usually I am able to fix these kinds of problems given time, but most of the time it would have been faster to just reinstall the OS. This breaks down when your OS heavily modified and has so many tweaks to make it work the way you want it to that you can't begin to recall just what all those tweaks were. Personally I'm a packrat. I hoard utilities and tweaks so it's hard to see where one tweak ends and another starts. This forces me to really take care to keep the OS running as a reinstall would be disastrous for my user experience. Sure I would eventually get back to something workable, probably even better, but I hate to go through the pain. The record was a WinXP installation that I used every day for about ten years. No reinstall ever, and it was still really snappy and well behaved after all that time. Well as snappy as it could be on five years old hardware. Yes I migrated that installation from a previous system. Only reason I gave it up was that MS stopped providing important upgrades and some new programs wouldn't run on a 32 bit OS any more...

Its just easier to switch to Linux, isn't it.
@@kensmith5694 I've dabled with Linux since the first kernel was released, but never got real fond of it. I was a UNIX admin for several years deploying and servicing Unix installations for customers using these to run commercial applications, and am certified, or at least I was certified for Unix System V and AIX version whatever, can't remember. But for some reason Linux strokes me the wrong way.
I think it's the many elitists you encounter who blows people off unless they can hack together a Linux from Scratch system in less than a couple of hours. Is it strange if people are put off when they are met with the attitude that if you don't know how everything works then go pound sand? If they knew then they wouldn't be asking, and if they are asking then they are trying to learn.
That and the huge diversity of distributions. Sure they are all GNU Linux, but they are often also very different from each other. I had customers running everything from pure Red Hat to CentOS to Ubuntu to LFS and who knows what else. And then there were Solaris. BSD and all the other Unix based operating systems. It seemed like every time they got stuck their system was just different enough that it took hours just to figure out just what the difference was that kept the "standard" solutions from working on their machine.
So while everybody is heaping praise over Linux for it's diversity and flexibility it's exactly that I find frustrating. With Windows there is one OS I have to learn to support and it looks and works almost exactly the same on workstations as on servers.
With Linux and Unix based operating systems there are probably at least ten major distributions and countless special versions I can run into all just slightly different from each other.
Don't get me wrong. Linux and Unix are great. But the diversity makes it darn hard to provide support for the customers who use them. If I could concentrate on one or two versions it might have been OK, but not the hundreds there are now.

I did, but i just unplugged it again til the tird time it said there was a problem and finally let me restore windows
Same
Absolute madlad
It's funny how one windows update that took 8 hours ruined my laptop and I had to go back to a system restore point.
the c: drive looked like it got cleared after the update finished installing
More like :c drive

I LOVE how he just says "gooey"
3:19 Props to the editor that scripted that clock to move properly in after effects.
I mean, you just set the minute hand to rotate at a steady speed and then you set the hour hand to rotate at 1/12 that speed. It would not take less effort to make them turn wrongly.
I didnt even notice that lol
Expressions....
But daylight didn't change at all 🤦♂️
@@vojtechstrnad1 12 minutes per hour, that sounds about right ;-p Edit: nope, I'm an idiot
2:00
I had a friend whose laptop decided to apply an update in the middle of a league of legends game. We were all sitting around the table. He gave it a few minutes, but quickly became impatient, and decided to hold down the power button for 5 seconds.
Computer would post, but not load windows. Lucky for him I had a spare computer for him to use while I was reinstalling his.
Moral of the story: a few minutes of patience could save you, or your techie friend, a few hours of work. Please do try to avoid turning off your computer when it is updating.
Like improperly handling a knife, you may get away with it many times. You may never ever be punished for it. But it only takes one wrong slip into your gut, and it won't matter if you had done it once, or a thousand times before. That *was* your last chance.
I had a friend do this in trade school. He turned off the computer via a hard power off (holding the power button) while it was updating. The computer deleted all of the drivers, making mice, keyboards, and even simple plug and play things like controllers not work anymore.
“Windows updates is a big pain”

@@starletic look at ur pfp, videos etc, nobody cares about u not asking
If I had enough money, I would have tried it myself Without worrying
Xd
Try in a VM
Windows won't damage your components so you're safe about the money.
I already do it all the time to stop updating lol
Wouldn’t you just need a hard drive to try it?
Lmao i was waiting for an hour and when i opened your video, watched few minutes, it was done :)
I remember when XP Service Pack 1 first came out and I was asked to update the family computer and there was a power cut during the install and it lost its HAL files.
The video that i never asked for,but always wanted!!
ikr
I asked for it well not practically but I always wanna shut the pc off during an update for some reason

Summary: you break the laws of time and reality and you become the most wanted creature in the galaxy and your punishment ends in death
I'll try it
aka Rick Sanchez
Loki ?
"Ends in death", what does it start with?
Who's trying to sleep but your window is updating
So...I wish I knew this in 2018 when I did turn off the computer.
I ended up getting a fatal Blue Menu of Death...and you don't wanna know what that means.
After I re-installed Windows, I realized that all my data was lost forever and I had made no backups (while the other user who had the computer hadn't lost a single file).
The only good thing is that I became an administrator user when I wasn't one before...way to gain things am I right?
nah you can go into registry hit load hive and load rem sam and change it so you can login as admin then change your perms
to add insult to injury...
You could've run recuva over over your Drive to restore what you can.
Oh well I guess to late to tell you that now eh?
I don't even have to watch the video to know that it's 7 years of bad luck to turn off a computer before it finishes updating.
The wanderer was here.
Damn I definitely have 50+ years of bad luck now
thanks alot 10 year old me
2:45 From the Advanced Options area, you also have the option of uninstalling the last update or feature update. As someone that repairs PCs for a living, those options have saved a PC from needing a Windows reinstall after an interrupted update, more often then not. If the system isn't booting, you have nothing to lose by trying it.
Yes, and rolling back is also a good option when for whatever reason the update messes up the font sizes etc. Suddenly having letters on the screen the size of my thumb was "interesting"
An update destroyed my entire computer with no way of getting it back
At 1:56 - Microsoft Pork Simulator? I love it!
Why does my computer tell me not to turn it off during updates, when I only want to turn it off and NOT update?
Sameee
Ye same here 🥺
SAME. I just wanted to use Linux again, now it’s been an hour for windows to configure update. I’m gonna just turn off and see what happens.
@@DSX1 are you.. still alive?
@@Senilityy nothing major happened! :D
I'm still alive haha, my laptop just went straight back and updated properly in like 5 mins. gonna have to try that again sometime :)
