What an amazing story!

Windows is famous for its autorepair, partially because it loved to randomly autodestruct back in the day. Not surprising it has better repair capabilities than Mac.

My PC periodically goes blue screen at boot, which began after physical cleanup. After restart windows fixes the issue, so I just sleep-cycle it instead of powering on/off. But sometimes I have to restart anyway. Pretty sure any other OS would be long dead at this point.



Your taunting comment is not helpful.


Taunting? I see that the first sentence may read like that, but it wasn’t intentional. Sorry if it bothered you. I shared the story because there’s no question and no issue left in the OP, so I guessed the implied question was why (why would you post it otherwise). The retrospective explains it. Windows past instabilities are the reason it has better repair capabilities.
