It's especially bad when it's stuck like that for hours, and you have to make a gamble with a force restart.

Spinners must die. I don’t care if I don’t understand what exactly you’re doing, Windows, (I’d be surprised if you knew), but show me something, anything about the steps you’re currently doing, so I can guess if you’re doing something at all.

They could actually show you a command prompt / terminal readout, which shows warnings and errors when things just outright fail and the process is borked... but that would scare people, apparently.

LOL, yup! I was just going to reply that people find that scary, and then got to your last sentence. Idk why it scares people. I love seeing the output.
