Today, in the middle of my online midterm, my computer decided to update and closed out of the test. It can't be retaken. FML

Usually they can tell when it has been opened and not sent. I am sure if you explain it, your teacher would let you retake it. Especially since half the teachers have called help desk for problems, can't expect you not to have any.

Well it wont be a retest it'll be more of a resume-test.

I hate that windows update, it hides from you, then restarts. I know how you feel. FYL. Go to Linux or disable the update in windows.

Look at your windows update history to see if any of the install times coincided with the testing period... You should show that to your examiner and pray that it exonerates you... Good luck!

35 - I agree. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try to ask for a retake.

Holy crap, for anyone that says OP deserves it just wait until something technologically awful happens to you! Computers always seem to screw us over when we most depend on them to not.

I do think OP deserves it. I work with computers so you think something technologically awful never happened to me? And I always think that it's my fault whenever that happens. Machine cannot think by itself. Whenever something wrong happened, there must be a reason. Whenever it happens it always caused by human error/neglect. Blaming a PC for auto update is like blaming a car for not having coolant in its radiator. It's user's fault.

70, If you work with computers you know files can become corrupted without user error or neglect, but otherwise what you said is correct.
