Comment on Microsoft's latest security update has ruined dual-boot Windows and Linux PCsparent

<waves hand>

I have an Intel NUC that has it's original Windows (10) install on it's internal spinning rust drive, and Ubuntu on it's NVME SSD (and a pair of USB drives in software Raid 1)

It's the Windows box I keep around for odd but specific tasks like the running the 3D wing and airfoil simulation software I have, or the CNC mill firmware update tool that only runs Windows. It's also got a few Windows only 3D modelling tools and GCode creation tools that I occasionally need for the laser cutter or CNC mill or one of the 3D printers.

99.9% of it's time is spent booted into Linux running Emby and PiHole and Home Bridge and doing file server duties.
