So this evening, update installed the wrong video driver update for my Framework 16. Using , I was able to boot into recovery mode, enter my bitlocker key to decrypt the effected drive, find my system restore point, and restore it to just before the bad update. The entire process was fully : all of my sound devices worked, my external keyboard worked, the screen reader read every screen, etc. The only thing that wouldn't work was my Braille display.

@fastfinge Oh hold on, I just noticed. You have a framework 16? Pretty sure I have ADHD. How do you like it? I'm on the fence, but man, their stuff looks solid.

@mcourcel It is solid! The only two issues are that they assume you'll be leaving it plugged in when it's not in use, as the battery discharges over the course of a few days even when it's fully off. The other issue is that if you get the extra AMD GPU, the fans are loud if you're gaming or doing something else that would use a high percentage of the GPU constantly. Like, loud enough that you'd have to use headphones to hear your screen reader, and you wouldn't want to hold a conversation with someone with it on your lap. But I've even had it apart to upgrade the ram and hard drive! There are excellent instructions for doing that here: community.frame.work/t/framework-16-visually-impaired-owners-case-mid-plate-and-mainboard-orientation-guide/51168
