If I use dism or remove-windowsfeature to uninstall a windows role or feature and it tells me it needs to reboot what problems could I run into if I wait a long time to reboot?
Para declarar o óbvio, qualquer operação que verificar uma reinicialização pendente antes de continuar falhará.
Isso inclui a instalação de vários tipos de software e hotfixes.
Aqui está um trecho do site da ferramenta Sysinternals pendmoves:
"There are several applications, such as service packs and hotfixes, that must replace a file that's in use and is unable to. Windows therefore provides the MoveFileEx API to rename or delete a file and allows the caller to specify that they want the operation to take place the next time the system boots, before the files are referenced. Session Manager performs this task by reading the registered rename and delete commands from the
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations
value."
