Windows update successfully unsuccessful (or unsuccessfully successful?)
-
- the list is 3 screens like this high
- EACH of the entries in it means in practice:
- my GPU drivers get kicked out even while running fullscreen 3d app (meaning from second to second, it goes from fluent 60 and more FPS to about 0.5 - 5 FPS.
- i have to "restart and finish installing updates", which goes to 100%, restarts, then says "finishing updates", then goes "updates failed, rolling back", then restarts again.
- I log in, and I need to check if the option still says "Update and restart", or it says just "Restart". I have to repeat restarting until it's only "Restart", which takes 1 to 3 times.
- Finally, I can run the idiotic "GeForce Experience" thing and tell it to reinstall drivers (which in and of itself takes retardedly long even if it works)
- Driver reinstall gets stuck on a very specific point, which forces me to close GeForce ShitSperience, and restart the whole comp (can't re-run driver reinstall because GF Shit shouts there's installations in progress).
- restart gets stuck on the "Restarting" blue screen, I have to do hardware turn off and on.
- login, run driver reinstall, pray that it doesn't get stuck. if it gets stuck, goto 5. This can repeat 0 to about 8 times and can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours.
- installation successfully finished? GREAT. Now don't restart or turn off the computer (and forbid the driver reinstall from restarting even though it claims it has to), lest you want your finally again working drivers to get kicked out again.
- sometimes windows (naturally) decides to WAKE UP FROM BEING ASLEEP AND RESTART overnight, while i sleep, at which point it's a lottery whether the drivers are still there or not. if yes, do a nation-wide celebration. if not, goto 2
P.S. why does ShiteBB error out when i try to insert image while the thread cathegory is not selected yet?

Because it likes to think that by limiting uploads for certain categories nobody's going to figure out you can simply upload in a category that's not blocked and cut and paste the resulting link because dumb dumbs can't figure stuff like that out and nifty eh?

At least it's better than the old version where it would just give you an access denied error with no details on why access was denied.

you misunderstood. there was nothing unusual about how long the process took this time, i wrote the comment just to time the average in some "practical" (while not annoyingly exact) way.

You posted this about eight ninths of the way into the process. Just like how matchmaking in video games fails repeatedly until it succeeds just after you complain.

It wasn't failing, it was just succeeding very slowly in creative directions!
