    It’s especially bad when it’s stuck like that for hours, and you have to make a gamble with a force restart.

      Spinners must die. I don’t care if I don’t understand what exactly you’re doing, Windows, (I’d be surprised if you knew), but show me something, anything about the steps you’re currently doing, so I can guess if you’re doing something at all.

        They could actually show you a command prompt / terminal readout, which shows warnings and errors when things just outright fail and the process is borked… but that would scare people, apparently.

          Windows was designed with the average computer user in mind.

          The ones that don’t understand the difference between internet and wifi.

          But a button to show this CLI would be nice.
