Windows 10: Happy with Anniversary Update?

Baldrickk

Restart

My wifi-card has an issue, it doesn't always startup properly when waking up from sleep mode, and turning it off and on again within windows isn't enough either. A full power cycle does the job though.

So I get back from work, wake it up, can't connect to the network.

"OK then, I'll just restart".

Hits restart.

Almost 2 hours later, I'm typing this on my phone, with the laptop still spinning with the words "Getting Windows ready Don't turn off your computer" on the screen.

Gee thanks MS. Maybe I really needed access to something on there?

Maybe I was at work? In which case, I would be wasting money getting no work done.

I didn't ask you to update, no notifications that the update was going to be installed, would have been fine installing overnight.

What I needed was just a simple power cycle, and MS has just screwed that up.

Good job.
