Of COURSE this wouldn't have been a proper #Windows upgrade without the install progress getting stuck on 97% for a prolonged period of time

Waiting 90 minutes for an image to capture, only for it to error out at 98% because insufficient free space on the storage volume #JustWindowsThings
@andyeff So the good news is that it’s been doing that since forever I think. So, ok, maybe not good news, but at least that bit isn’t getting any worse.

Ich stehe von meinem Arbeitsplatz auf, gehe nach unten, hole mir einen Kaffee, komme wieder hoch, Laptop aus.

Oder Haiku-artig:

Pause von der Arbeit
Der Kaffee kommt
Laptop aus.

Me: "I think this SD card might have errors. Please check."
#Windows: "Are you sure? There are no errors on this drive."
Me: "Yes, check it anyway!"
Windows: "Okay! Checking! ...I ...I cannot repair this drive."

If I had been using Linux, it would have just straight up said "yup, looks like that card is fucked" without the roundabout expressions.

So, instead of working on the C# project I decided to clean up my dotnet install and remove all obsolete runtimes. Found one that was *somehow* sticking in the SDK list no matter what I did. Spent about an hour trying to figure out how to uninstall .NET 5.0.300 SDK/5.0.6 runtime which was allegedly installed/repaired/uninstalled just fine with the standalone installer, but still kept staying in "dotnet sdk check" list no matter what I did. The "dotnet core uninstall tool" was of no use. Had to go manually clean up the Program Files\dotnet directory. Why did this thing get stuck there? No clue. Why was it quasi-perma-installed? No idea. #JustWindowsThings
Hab gerade angefangen ein paar alte nicht genutzte Programme zu entfernen und bin am überlegen einfach das ganze System neu zu installieren. #justwindowsthings
