    Whilst I agree that there can be variables unknown about updates there are physical limitations of what is happening during a POST. Of course a boot error can occur with an update, especially the boot selection is "secure boot" which interlocks processes of the hard drive and the BIOS, I'm 100% cool with an update somehow breaking that. If anyone brought me a PC saying it wouldn't POST because they installed some Linux OS I would tell them that is has nothing to do with it because it's almost impossible for the two to be linked, that's all. And the realm of which it can be linked would lead to mind bogglingly insecure tech.  

    The problem I have isn't with OP, but rather with a news article that took his comment and is now spreading that this can brick a PC. I wanted a reply to be here for when people clicked the link. Turns out others already had, but these forums suck on mobile so it wasn't clear at all.

    Ik this reply is pretty old, but this is for anyone out there who has a similar issue: If your pc won't post and gives a beep code, it isn't Microsoft's fault. Your hardware has issues. Something may have burnt out or died. Restarting the computer (during an update, for example) would have let the issue present itself. I hope you would have gotten your computer replaced via warrenty because it is a valid warranty claim.

    I use Microsoft product for gaming and recreation ONLY.  Anything for which I have to depend upon a computer, use I Linux or BSD.  I've seen businesses and people become inconvenienced to the point of crisis from having to rely upon Microsoft products.  Even when they screw up and destroy peoples' data, they have effectively no legal responsibility for doing so.
