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?
Obviously this would vary greatly with the specific feature being uninstalled, so I'm curious if there any issues not directly related to the specific feature I should worry about- does windows installer remain in a weird unfinished state before the reboot, could this impact installing other features (features that are not related to the one uninstalled).
I know if I uninstall .net that will have an obvious impact on other features, but is there anything else in the OS, again not related to or depending on the feature I uninstall, that could go wrong?
I always reboot promptly, but I'm curious about how that reboot pending switch works and how it is registered/unregistered.
