And now you won't be able to know the reason for the blue screen of death.

Windows: yeah we can apply some updates without restarting, but for the rest you're going to need to reboot
Linux: PATHING THE KERNEL WHILE IT'S RUNNING LET'S GO BABY

Micro-Soft: "People aren't restarting their PCs because they're afraid of updated installing Recall.

Also Micro-Soft: "PCs can now update without needing to restart".

Only on Windows 11 Enterprise, not for regular home consumers.

[cassiuscartland]

Some Linux distros, MacOS and ChromeOS have had this for years 😂

[MohamedMukassabi]

Oh yeah. I think I'm a victim of hotpatching.

[stevencurtis]

Great, now my interface can change and remove vital features even when I don't want it to, while I'm in the middle of using it. Ain't our omnibenevolent tech overlords somethin' else?

ENTERPRISE. The magic word is ENTERPRISE. This is the highest and hence the most expensive form of licensing. So if you arent Jeff Bezos you are not able to afford that.

[Joel-pffr]

This should be fun, we saw how well that went for CrowdStrike.

[dragxon]

Thank god its only win11, win10 will already be my last windows this is just teason number 700

[pelaajahacks]

windows: we have hot patching, but im not giving it to you since you arent important enough and dont give us money

[EdwardJamesBickels]

Windows Server Hotpaching has only been available on Azure versions since Server 2019. Server 2025 added that for GA.

For most companies, its still something new.

Secretly in the Background means 100% Disk usage for 1 hour.

[OneAnt]

It wont be as secret when i notice a 90% decrease in my fps

[Ommy]

normally they should leave the patching to the user, forcing updates on people PCs it's overreach, they can do what the fk they want to your PC without your consent

[Caretoexplainwatchamean]

This is a good development - but I can't remember rebooting my Linux machine once in the last 7 years

[jackpowell]

Microsoft vs EU 😂 better be better than the tyson fight.

[PC_XP]

Well there is definitely no chance of it when the release, to bug out while updating and destroy the PC..

[naraydaniels]

Wait so daily updates don’t take out runtime, Nice 👍 😀

[DanielisAwesome]

Yeah, means they can install things without your permission easier, the list of reasons to change OS just keeps growing
