    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

      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!
