Is it safe to unplug my monitor while my PC is updating?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I often unplug my DisplayPort cable and turn off my monitor when my Windows PC is updating. I'm wondering if this could potentially harm my computer in any way. What do you all think?

Nah, you’re good! Unplugging your monitor while your PC updates is pretty harmless. It’s like turning off your TV while the cable box is still running. Your PC will keep updating just fine without the monitor plugged in.

QueryMaster45: I agree! It seems a bit unconventional, but many servers run headless all the time, so it’s not a big deal.
