Worst one I’ve had is a windows update somehow physically brick a notebook, no idea how it happened but even after replacing the harddrive it would still get stuck in a weird boot loop trying to start off a non existant drive. My best guess is the update somehow managed to damage/corrupt the BIOS.
One time i decided that a Windows update was taking too long and decided to turn off the computer. Fucked. Wouldn’t boot anymore. Had to re-install windows.

Modern Windows update also include BIOS updates by your manufacturer.
Holy shit that’s frightening.
Doesn’t the manufacturer always say to not update the BIOS unless absolutely necessary?
Yes, but Microsoft will just give you the latest one via Windows Update regardless of suggestions
I had that with a Android firmware update fresh out of the box, first truning it on. Battery was almost empty, so it bricked. Was about 2015 i think?
I guess that’s why you are instructed to charge your device before turning it on for the first time.
