Can someone please tell me why the F Windows can't recover from a power outage

Automatic recovery... fail. How about a little detail about what you tried and why it didn't work? frick.

Numerous manual recovery attepts... all failed. chkdsk, bootrec /fixmbr /fixboot /rebuildbcd, efi rebuild procedues. Et fricking cetera.

There are many, many other things I tried, and probably half of them failed in one way or another. Not just failed as in didn't make the computer boot, failed as in failed to do what they're designed to do. Also failed to provide any meaningful information as to why they failed.

If you have to write this many tools to fix all the ways your OS fricks up, at what point do you decide to make it stop fricking up?


I finally gave up on recovery efforts and decided to reinstall, and unsurprisingly that process is filled with more fricking failures. Apparently if you don't write the ISO just right it complains about a missing driver or some shite. WTF, man? I wrote it with fricking dd, bit for fricking bit. So then I tried another tool that worked better for some reason, but it gets halfway through with the install before complaining about some missing mystery file. No shite, it doesn't even give a filename.

So now I'm trying downloading the ISO again in case mine is corrupt (I would know if it was if microsoft would provide hashes for these gigantic files), and in the middle of that my prior copy on the USB stick now won't even boot anymore. Like the machine doesn't even recognize that it's plugged in. My linux machine reads it just fine, and apparently the win10 installer likes to modify files during the install.



All this bullshite because they haven't figured out how to recover from a power failure consistently. Billions of installs, over decades, and you're telling me they haven't figured out how to make this process flawless? Linux handles it pretty fricking flawlessly.


frick, man. If I never have to touch windows again I'll be a happy man.
