If you 'play' an operating system as if it was a game, what is the final boss, and how do you beat it?

The shutdown button, a very anti climactic finale
-
Who needs a button?
shutdown -s -f -t 0
Edited to include the missing -s argument
-
/s /t 1 Get it right tho
-
I did get it right. I literally used that command in a Windows activation hack.
-
Start by using / instead of - like all other old build in windows comands then read the docs and find you need /p or /s or /r to tell it what to do
then /t 0 does nothing, /t 1 (or higher) actually sets and timer and implicitly sets /f as well
you'd know this if you had actually entered that command. Cuz that's the info it prints when you get it wrong
-
Yeah, you're both right and wrong at the same time. I missed an argument.
shutdown -s -f -t 0
Not /, it's -
I never suggested I was running Windows 11, this is for Windows XP. I just double and triple checked, it's not /, it's -

Go to bed grandpa

Thank you. That just means I have more experience than you.

If I need to figure out floppy drives I'll ask
-
Thanks. I happen to have arranged Windows 3.11 to be live bootable from a single floppy disk. I call it WinFlop. Various versions of it actually, including a build with a taskbar and start menu.
I also made a companion disk, Diagnostic Utilities, that includes not only basic diagnostic utilities, but also CD, USB, and NTFS drivers.
I'll be around all week. I'd share a link, but not much point right now, the Internet Archive is still apparently down ☹️
