If you shutdown Windows abnormally it may not start right the next time. Does that mean if there is a power failure, you might not be
able to boot the next time?
Isn't that poor design? Since abnormal shutdowns are going to happen
eventually.
I once had an abnormal shutdown and the next 3-4 times, it started and
worked normally. Then there was a startup problem. Could that have
been from the abnormal shutdown but a delayed reaction?
