Haha, hundred percent, I just experienced this for the first time like an hour ago!
Got to hit it 2-3 times quickly

M$ Support? Better asking in TikTok. M$ don’t have a real support more than a prefab possible issue list where for sure isn’t what you are looking for.
Have you tried
sfc /scannow?Thank you for your valuable question, please be sure to rate my answer as “solved”.

these “advisors” might be mostly bots anyway, pair it with a forum thats probably heavily moderated to keep unapproved stuff off it.
append site:reddit.com or something and you may find actual people talking about the issue, much more useful.
Once a long time ago I had some problems after upgrading a computer from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I got on a chat with someone from Microsoft support and eventually started a remote session with them. The first thing he did was go into the chat app from my side and give himself 5-star ratings across the board and pasted in some feedback about being diligent and responsive. That whole part took less than 30 seconds.
At the end of the day he couldn’t resolve the issues and we ultimately downgraded back to Windows 7.
oh my god i would’ve flipped my shit.
You know you would flip it regardless, you just can’t stop
shit-flipper-insatiable they used to call me
That’s a little hilarious. I especially like the part that that took 30s, but you stuck it out with the rogue until the end of the day.
At first I thought it was funny, but was less impressed in the end
That’s super messed. Hope he eventually helped someone who happened to be screen recording and reported him for rating himself without permission.
For some reason I’ve read that with an indian accent
have you tried reinstalling windows:)
have you tried uninstalling windows:)
My corporate IT’s answer to every Windows issue as well.
Every Goddamm time. Notably this still tends to be a painful experience in my hands, and I find crap that the reinstall screwed up for months.
Goddamn, I realized this was referencing the Microsoft forum just from reading the first paragraph and I’ve hardly used Windows in the last decade…
I guess, this is why they think the incessant rambling from ChatGPT is in any way acceptable.
Ok, but one time I had this maddening problem that the rest of the internet claimed I needed windows pro and the group policy editor to solve, and I ran upon some"windows independent advisor" who just posted a bunch of powershell commands, that I ran blindly, and holy shit it magically solved EVERYTHING!
MicroSloth hiding the facts about what works in Home versions versus Pro : reason #459 why a profit driven OS is bad for all consumers.
Missing the post script where they plead for you to mark their post as the solution.
Wow, that link apparently went down in 1982!
Don’t forget a paragraph about how they have helped hundreds of people and have some forum award they’ve named to sound like a real certificate.
Just so they can tell you to do the thing that was first on your “things I’ve tried” list.
And here, last night, I was stressing over an issue with distributing the version of an app that I knew would solve the problem caused by this other app being only a facsimile of the one it replaced, and is there for missing some important compatibility.
But new is shiny so fuck ‘usable’.
So I was grabbing this other app to do the thing I knew it could, but this app was first built 18 years ago, and last major update - security not feature - was 9-10 years ago. The app is feature-complete and it’s not fucking systemd so it can stop at being perfect for its primary use.
But then its python interpreter has left it behind, like “fuck you this can’t even run”, because they fucked wit the api without thinking. And now this app is just abandonware.
I think that’s two sides of the same coin: you have inept answers from people practicing robotic responses, and my thing was killed by eager-beaver devs who cut off features they don’t understand or value, just like a civil war surgeon treating athletes foot. Similar, my shit won’t ever run again either.
(No I don’t know python yet. Too busy working to learn it; and also indentation disco sucks)
In 2002 20 years old dead link? hmmm
That makes sense the post is from 2002 and the link was good for 2-3 years after since it would be 20 years before today.
In fairness if you’re a total technology troglodyte they can supply basic answers. But the moment there’s a real glitch for which actual programmers are needed…
DISM SFC
Good luck!
