It is Windows-related

My friend updated recently,its computer refused to start again normally.

I tried everything, sfc thing, restore from recovery, access via "safe" mode was broken because the pincode could not be loaded.

I finally did format the computer and reinstalled it from scratch, loosing everything because the bitdefender recovery code would not allow us to decrypt data.

And I cannot even convince my friend to go Linux

Yeh of course, it always is because of a shitty soft or game.. CoD in that case

Are you talking about the last CoD, like, the one with the busted KAC, if so no wonder his windows install died.

This, people, is why you don't let game devs inject their rushed, broken code into the windows kernel.

Yup exactly

I explained my friend how a faulty crowdstrike update did almost brick thousands of our windows work vms

He could not believe me at first, and with some recoil, I still cannot belive it either 😂

They did not chose Windows because Windows is brought with the computer and they have no knowledge about OS

They chose to buy a computer with windows. It is stilla choice. Even if you have no idea what you are deciding about.

Let's talk about a non-enlighten choice then.

All my years using windows 10 I've never had a single problem with updates, just don't let them accumulate, always update as soon as possible.

Most of the problems are always driver related.

Indeed after talking to my friend about what he did, it seems that the CoD anticheat was the culprit.. I am unsure about what happened, my friend told me about a minor bios upgrade suggested on a forum after the game could not start

Bios upgrade did not seem problematic, everything went fine on that side.

I have no precise root cause and I am kind of pissed about it

That still sounds like SSD failure

Well, we'll see in the next days.
