Its funny cuz people say linux is harder, but if i have a problem in linux i am never worried if i will be able to fix it. In windows? Sweating bullets. May the Gods spare me from the hell that is the registry. Dont make me go back.
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.
Missing the post script where they plead for you to mark their post as the solution.
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.
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.
Have you tried
sfc /scannow
?Thank you for your valuable question, please be sure to rate my answer as “solved”.

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.
Wow, that link apparently went down in 1982!
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!
append site:reddit.com or something and you may have actual people talking about the issue, much more useful.
This is a big plus for Linux to me. If I have a specific problem, with a specific error code. I can usually find useful information to fix it online. Not some useless generic garbage fix from that forum.
And then the back button in your browser can’t take you back anymore.
Yeah, what’s the deal with that?
If I recall correctly it’s for single sign on. Something something it making a secure session
If you right click the back button you can select the page before they click-jacked you
Haha, hundred percent, I just experienced this for the first time like an hour ago!
Got to hit it 2-3 times quickly
Yes fuck Microsoft answers or any website that does this
And if you venture forth into their support pages you can take a tour through different Microsoft design phases of the last two decades. When everything looks Windows XP/Xbox360… you have gone too far.
Dealing with Microsoft Forums really made me appreciate Startpage. Every link you click in the search results opens a new tab.
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.
For some reason I’ve read that with an indian accent
