If you think that is pointless, remember that whenever a program closed unexpectedly, Windows would offer to “find a solution online”. I have never seen that shit work in my life
Windows troubleshooter has never fixed a single problem for me.
It can reset a network adapter but that the only time I’ve seen it do anything useful
Yeah but its usually faster just to reboot the machine instead of letting it dick around with itself.
Now with SSDs it is but back in the day it took approximately 3 businesses days for my gaming rig to boot up.
Windows asked me what app I wanted to open a .jpeg with last week… Just fucking pick one, it’s a jpeg.
windows also occasionally has stokes like media player thinking for a solid 5s and deciding it’s unable that file format (mp3), but then you close it and try again and a miracle! it opens
Funny you say that. I never touch media player because vlc exists but on my work pc I tried to play a video file someone sent me from their iPhone and it defaulted to media player which promptly demanded I pay 4$ for a codec. I just closed it and opened the video in vlc instead. I could understand not including codecs for some weird formats but it was a fucking iPhone video.
Yup and iPhones use a patented codec (HEVC) by default. No care for compatibility.
