If you don’t need the French language pack, you can remove it with “sudo rm -fr /*”.

The event I’m referring to wasn’t OP’s photo. Mine was back in 2004 or 2005, long before Win10 was released.

Maybe? If I recall correctly, this was Windows XP. Also the computer was owned by the school, so the students didn’t have admin access.

I saw that happen once in a big presentation.

There was a team of students presenting their work to ~200 people. Right in the middle, a pop-up says updates are finished and the computer needs to restart. It has a helpful 60-second countdown, but “cancel” is grayed out, so all they can do is watch.

I was only in the audience and I still have nightmares.

Joke’s on them: those aliens don’t perceive time, so the concept of pressing keys in sequence is impossible to convey.
