Continued thread

This failed spectacularly saying sorry couldn't fix, offers to shut down in that comforting sorry bout that windows blue.

Machine is currently rebooting semi normally but crawling again like it does when trying to install updates. (Maybe rolled back)
I dunno they are telling me nothing,

Generic login desktop screen, with no user now. No password field after pressing space bar.

Going great y'all.

Oh #BSOD thanks

Windows 10 #KB5060533 Update brings back the clock view that displays seconds in the Calendar flyout, a feature that was previously removed. Read the complete changelog windows101tricks.com/windows-1

Clock Display: Brings back the clock view that displays seconds on the calendar taskbar flyout.

Rich Calendar Enhancements: Extends the upcoming events period to 30 days and adds description text for the Weather button.

Security Fixes: Contains Microsoft's June 2025 Patch Tuesday security updates, which fix seven zero-day vulnerabilities.

Hyper-V Stability: Includes a fix for an issue causing some Hyper-V virtual machines to freeze or restart unexpectedly.

Font Display Issue: Notes a known issue with NOTO fonts appearing blurry or unclear at 96 DPI, suggesting a temporary workaround of setting display scaling to 125% or 150%.

#Security fixes and other updates will be “orchestrated” by Redmond’s own #update tool.

#WindowsUpdate keeps #Windows updated (well, duh). It can also update some “other #Microsoft products,” if you let it. Soon, it’ll be able to do the same for other companies’ apps.

But WHY must #Microsoft misuse the concept of #orchestration to describe it? Messy musical metaphors aside, this seems like a good idea. In #SBBlogwatch, we wave a baton.
