Do not turn off or unplug your computer; it will turn offautomatically.
When updates are being installed, the following message periodically
appears: Do not turn off or unplug your computer; it will turn off automatically. My question is... what happens if you do unplug or turn off your computer? |

You will most likely screw up one of the updates.
That could be not a problem, or a major problem. Note that the warning states it will turn your computer off for you after it is done. "yawnmoth" wrote in message ...

What happens if you stick your hand into an open flame?

If you have 7h battery life left, what does Windows care if you unplug it? The warning is written that way because MOST computers don't have a 7h battery. If you are confident that the LAPTOP will continue running until all the disk writes are complete, well I guess that's your risk to take. |

If you are using a laptop and you have enough battery power to complete the installation, fine, you can unplug it and rely on the battery. But personally, I wouldn't want to run any risk of its taking longer than I expected and running out of battery power, so I think its much more prudent to keep it plugged in. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
