well this is the scariest thing my work computer has ever done. I didn’t even know it was structurally possible for popup windows to appear over the Windows Update screen

to my genuine but relieved surprise, it still booted after this.

what's truly mystifying, however, is how the Dell firmware manages to have two or three ⚠️Critical⚠️ bios updates a week. I understand neither where they're all coming from nor how Dell sustains such a rapid release cycle of high-risk firmware patches long-term.

@0xabad1dea I have a Lenovo that did something like 7 bios updates in the same day, laptop was disconnected for a while, but instead of doing last one windows update makes it step each one at a time.

Also if you had a critical error before it's a good idea to do a sfc /scannow I was sceptic before but that command fixs a lot of corrupted files all the time.
