Broken Windows 10 Update Causes Reboot Loops For Some Users

An anonymous reader writes: The Guardian reports that some early adopters of Windows 10 are finding their computers stuck in a reboot loop after installing a particular update. KB3081424 is a cumulative update, packaging together a group of smaller ones for ease of installation. For some users, the update continually fails to finish installing before issuing a reboot command to the PC. "It downloads, reboot to install. Gets to 30% and reboots. Gets to 59% and reboots. Gets to 59% again and then states something went wrong so uninstalling the update. Wait a few minutes and reboot. Back to login screen," said Microsoft forum user BrettDM. "This happens without fail, every single time."

Recently, Slashdot has been more infected by people who had bad childhoods and want to express their anger. Their manner of expression is to act out their anger toward people who weren't involved in their childhoods.

Making trouble for other people makes them sicker. See, for example, this recent Slashdot story: Sending Angry Emails Just Makes You Angrier.
