    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.

      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?

      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.
