Microsoft has fouled out again.

That's bizarre! You don't seem to have much luck with Linux, do you?

I've never had anything like that happen to me, only once a filesystem got locked into read-only mode due to a failing hard drive. Which honestly seems like a pretty sensible idea.

I didn't do anything anyone else would do. The update Icon in the tray advised - Opened updates - selected update all ( including the Upgrade) when they had done their thing  It advised to restart Clicked on restart -- Thats was it.

On another note, though, I also have 2 NAS's Linux based, and Linux Server - Been running for  errrrrrrrrr Long time  Never had a problems with them (apart from once a NAS decided it didn't like a user password that had been fine for over a year.)

The desktop Versions -- Well, won't go there, it seems every time they upgrade, something doesn't work that did before.
