So, it reverted the changes, and is now 'preparing to retry'. The suggested solution comes with weird instructions.4. lick Repair your computer.

I've seen that myself, and more than once. I've also had Windows updates telling me not to turn my computer off whilst it sits on '15 of 38' or something like that for hours.
Pretty much I end up resetting through it - sometimes twice - until the damn thing is happy. Interestingly, these abort/restart types don't induce problems in later updates, at least not in and obvious pattern.
Fortunately, I didn't look up Micrsoft's idea of help since they're the ones who broke it to begin with. So I didn't see what you really did see, which is an instruction to, basically, lick a box.

There is a reason why you say to lick your wounds. Wasn't aware it was common when fixing computers. I'm a bit curious as to where they want you to lick the computer.

What's weird about that? I used to use a finger print scanner to logon to my computer but I changed that out for a tongue scanner so now I just lick my way on to the computer. It comes in different flavors too.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Steve Jobs once told us they'd made their buttons look so good you'd want to lick them.
It seems that Microsoft is now instructing people to do so.

Anyway, well done. You're up!

Hi All,
I recieved a text last night from an Agent asking what time was best to call me today for a role, I told 'him' a time and ensured all was correct and quite for the call. No Call so it would seem this agent was using the old bait the line and for the client 'see I have this many'. To quote Lee Harvey Oswold 'I am a Patsy!'...walks off muttering about agents

I wonder how long the guy who played the stormtrooper had to hear about that one.
Still, Tie pilots[^] look more intimidating. Too bad the dirty rebels don't get to see them much when they are at work.

Yeah, the black armour made them look mean! (also like the Family Guy 'Blue Harvest' Tie fighter joke) Still I wonder if you could transfer between Storm Trooper, Biker Scout, AT-AT driver... I mean you start out on your feet and promoted up the ranks till your driving a walking block of flats...

Yes it is possible, it happened. Also TIE pilots may look more intimidating but that's a pathetic excuse for their crafts not having their own life support systems, so they had to rely on pressurized suits. They didn't even have a Hyperdrive...
