content: It's sad that this is the /v/technology subverse and the technologically correct answer has 4 upvoats (one mine) while the whiny noise of Windows bashing sits at the top. This story should be titled: "Users who misconfigured their motherboard's BIOS settings discovered they could no longer boot after a routine OS update" The update resolves an issue that breaks the ability to encrypt files, so I'm actually a little disappointed that it was ever marked "optional," but then I guess some people don't care about the security of their stuffs.
