But did the plane have windows?

No, it was running Linux.

Then it wouldn't have crashed.

Probably running Windows Embedded and went for an update. An hour is long time to wait to get flight control back.

Now I wonder, what happens if an aircraft or control tower is running Windows 10 and it decides to update mid-flight?

It crashed, so of course it ran Windows.
