Oh that’s why my Linux instance suddenly stopped working. I will have to look into this
Yup! Windows did an update and hosed your boot record. I don’t even use the same partition for the Windows and Linux boot sectors and Windows still breaks it occasionally. My solution was to just not log into Windows anymore.
I was dual booting because of rocket League.
The well epic did an epic and so I stopped. My computer is set to boot to the kubuntu drive. I have to make it boot to windows if I need that drive.
I miss drinking and tanking my MMR with buddies… but windows. :/ lol
Good to know I’m saving myself a pain in the ass
Same here. I tried the dual boot life for a while but eventually I gave up. On Windows, of course.
I will eventually need to log back into Windows next time I want to design something in Fusion 360, since there aren’t any stable solutions for Linux, but that’s literally the only thing I need Windows for.
I wish it could be so, I need both for work. I have always required a laptop with two separate hdd slots, but Windows tends to mess up everything anyway, and then Linux get the blame for being unstable. I also have a fun thing where the RTC becomes out of sync because win and Linux handle time differently. This can mess up 2FA among other things, so that’s great😅
I think Windows will have to go on a VM instead because it is so unstable.
You can set Windows to use UTC for the hardware clock (or have Linux use local time shudder). Just need to set a registry key:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001
