“On systems with Secure Launch enabled, attempts to shut down, restart, or hibernate after applying the January patches may fail to complete.”
Be hard for it to stay on with no power cord/battery…
Same as when my computer refuses to finish writing to a flash drive. When I press that “safely remove hardware” button, it is not a request, it is a warning. If the data is corrupted after I yank the stupid thing, so be it
That’s how the matrix started!
The Matrix
If humanity’s first reaction to sapient machines is to blot out the sun without thinking about what would happen to them, that’s on them at that point.
They’re lucky the machines cared enough to try and help humans, rather than leave them to the consequences of their own actions.
They were probably smart enough to realise that decision was actually made by like, 8 rich guys. I would totally buy a lore revision of the machine uprising gathering an increasing number of disenfranchised and poor people as it went, some of whom would help program the matrix as a means to preserve humanity.
It’ll just jab its fangs into your arm and feed off your blood.
I just want to know why my Windows 10 laptop is waking up by itself in the middle of the night to apply updates it isn’t supposed to have? What the fuck?!
Have a look at “wake timers”, they might be at fault and need disabling
Thanks. It was set to Allow Important Only when plugged in, I’ve disabled it. This prevents me from using Wake-On-Lan, though, which is shitty. I fucking hate Windows.
Typical Microsoft. “Let the user decide when their computer wakes up? Nah, they let us decide what’s important or it stays asleep.”
You can also set a group policy to allow no updates at all except when you approve and download them manually.
Ridiculous that you need the group policy manager for the basic setting of “don’t put shit on my PC without asking,” but here we are.
Is gpedit even included in retail/OEM windows licenses these days? The vast majority of users wouldn’t know how to do that anyway, hell it’s a swamp even for power users.
You can enable hibernate in power settings too. I had to do that when “sleep” would literally just shut off my monitor and nothing else. Didn’t even log out.
You know, when an OS out of the box needs hours of disabling invasive bullshit on first boot, maybe the OS is kind of a problem.
I know switching isn’t an alternative for all, hell, even disabling bullshit isn’t possible for everyone but for those who can here’s a script to manage the most blatant fuckery:
https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat.git
From the description: “A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customize, declutter and improve your Windows experience. Win11Debloat works for both Windows 10 and Windows 11.”
HOW TO:
Go to link.
Click green download button > download .ZIP
Right click the downloaded file: choose extract all.
Open folder, double click Win11Debloat.ps1
Follow instructions.
Lord over family and friends about being a l33t h4ck3r.
It’s well used and vetted. If you need help with instructions let me know in comments.
They can do that, but the next update they actually decide to apply… will rewrite all/most of those changes.
This is the most infuriating bullshit of all. MotherFUCKER doesn’t respect my authoritah!!
MicroSlop:
It’s not your computer, it’s our computer.

You don’t own proprietary software. When you allow it access to your computing resources, you can just hope it does what you want it to do, the way you want it to.
Sounds like a bonkers extremist position, and in a way it is, but it’s also true.
itt: any game ever
I still own an original copy of Kung Fu Master for Commodore 64 on cassette. Yes you may prostrate before me.
(It’s got Rambo: First Blood Part II on the flipside:)
I can make you a copy if you want and if you have an empty full length cassette and a boombox with dual cassette decks… (Fo’ a dolla…)Very cool
Edit: what I actually meant to say is, how dare you allow unsanctioned digital audio signals to be played on your boombox, you’re letting them run riot on your ears or something…
Supposed to according to whom? According to Microsoft, it’s supposed to have them.

I just want to know why my Windows 10 laptop is waking up by itself in the middle of the night to apply updates it isn’t supposed to have?
To answer the question as written: yes.
Everyday I am happier I’ve moved to Linux Mint on my personal computer and have macOS at work.
microslop patch
the key is, from microsoft’s perspective, you don’t own your computer
Microsoft is watching you ,day and night.
Microsoft knows your dick size
I’Don’t think so, have a proxy address, use a multihop vpn, and DAITA to trick LLM, my linux pc also changes mac address every time, furthermore grapheneos smartphone with simplex.
I’m safe in Greenland .
They’ll still find a way to triangulate whose dick that is
I’m sure the patch was something super important like shoving more Microslop Copilot in your face, making Copilot OS even slower, and using Copilot to spy on you better
All your computers will not respond to command until an agreement is reached for total US control of Greenland… and Iceland. Farteched?
Copilot created this patch with pride.
Wtf kind of insanity is this? Run out of battery then asshole.
I was just thinking unplug the desktop.
Yank the cord
Looks like we are going back to the old days of the big switch
I can hear this picture
VVVVRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmwhhhhhuuuu
Oh I forgot how much I missed degaussing. Sad we don’t get to use tubes that shoot radiation at our faces anymore.
It made the most satisfying “clunk” sound 🤤
I remember the switch was red, but that might be some sort of false memory.
Some, indeed, were red. I had more than one with a red switch.
Install Linux Problem Solved.
Can confirm. Was stuck at “You’re 0% there” screen for like 20 minutes. Then it “unfrozen” itself and rebooted just fine. But yeah I wish I had the time to move to Linux soon.
Unplug the shit
I hate myself for enjoying Battlefield 6 enough at the moment to still be shackled to Windows. It’s almost like have BF4 back again.
Please flame
There are plenty of other shooters to enjoy over here, even Halo works and that just feels like it should be illegal
