Imagine the following scenario. You are working on your notebook, Windows updates were installed and you are asked to reboot your notebook. A reboot doesn’t take too long, so why not do it right now? After the restart, your computer gets stuck in a blue screen. Your Windows log on screen does not appear, so you are locked out of your data and applications. This situation can occur not only on your workstation, but also on any of your physical servers. You need to gain access again to your machine. Read more
