Meaning I would press the power button in the morning, fix me some breakfast and coffee, maybe have a smoke and when I returned to the PC after all that, it was, perhaps, up and running... laugh
LOL, I remember a time with Win98 myself, seen friends Win95 pc as well. If those had an issue or where installing things, you could do household chores to come back and see them not done. In the grand things of things... waiting 10 to 20 seconds is not really bothersome... compared to playing Fallout 4 and trying to exit a building in the Boston Downtown area on a 11th gen i7 with the game on a M2 x4 SSD and a 3080 and it takes 1:30 to load (yes I timed that) compared to that booting a windows in under 20 seconds is quite the achievement.

As for my crashes with Baldurs Gate 3, a friend got that Direct X Error I had before too. But his game usually runs stable without crash. I have to yet find time for another session.
