My HP All-In-One 20-c081nt has the processor Intel Core i3-6100U, which is supposed to not run hotter than 100C. On Windows if 100C is reached, the screen will fade out and PC will immediately shutdown. A warning will be shown at next boot. On Linux, seen in the video, the PC will simply keep running as if nothing has happened and show the thermal shutdown warning after a graceful reboot.

Super lazy on HP to design such protection to be dependent on the OS. A good realtime priority set of threads could probably keep it running hot for longer by blocking the protection program.
That protection should be part of the system firmware.
It used to be part of the CPU itself. Intels would throttle themselves down when reaching critical temperatures. Is that no longer the case?
It's there on AMD cpus, it'll shut down the cpu if you forgot your heatsink for some reason even on the AM5 cpus.
No bug found, working as intended.
Yeah this is awful. It will probably stop working when Microsoft releases whatever they call the next version of Windows like 8 months from now.
Windows 112? I'll bet $1 I got the name right.
