Every time I search a windows error - Lemmy.World

Applies to macOS as well. These official support forums are such garbage.

Windows: did you run sfc /scannow and chkdsk? (This has never solved a single thing in my entire building PCs life, so since about 1999.)

macOS: did you reset SMC and PRAM? (This is basically a fancy restart and with Apple Silicon devices, it is literally just a restart.)

Same as the windows troubleshoot useless program that pop off every time a program crashes “Looking for the problem that caused the crash. Oh i found nothing”.

I’m convinced it’s just those 2 pop ups and are placed just for giving the impression of doing something, but actually doing nothing.

I have very positive experience with that thing actually. It fixed many a wifi issue for me (interestingly, while also saying it couldn’t find the issue. It just fixed it. Probably ran something as part of its diagnostics that happened to also fix the problem)
Every time a test a shitty app i made i will try to close it when it stops responding, and windows will “report the problem to microsoft”.
