TWO of my laptops were bit by that bug/error. Not one. Two.

But what they offered was not a real solution. I'm an experienced computer user, and still didn't wanna mess with that "solution".

This was done just to force people to upgrade to a Win11 (and maybe get a new PC too, if their old one couldn't run Win11). If not that, then simply, incompetence in general.

It's all laughable, really.

One issue is that some people are still on windows 7 installs that were upgraded. Windows 7 had a large enough partition for then, but the upgrade now needs more. Unfortunately 2009 Microsoft didn't anticipate that this should be bigger for 2023 installs. Making it larger is a hassle I wouldn't want to code either.

Both my laptops were Win10-native, not upgrades from previous versions.

I used to have a very nice laptop that had a blue screen error I could never figure out, I wonder if this was it. Actually I still have it 🤔
