I don’t troubleshoot it anymore. We backup the data/files we can’t lose and perform the clean install.

Our shop charges by the hour so I can write that no client today will pay for the number of hours it takes to “fix” a busted Windows installation.

Mastering Keyboard Shortcuts: Boost your productivity with keyboard shortcuts. For example, press Win + D to minimize all windows and show the desktop, or Win + L to lock your computer instantly.

Customize Your Start Menu: Right-click on the Start button to access options for customizing your Start menu, including resizing tiles, organizing groups, and accessing various system tools and settings.

Task Manager Tricks: Use Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager directly. Within Task Manager, you can monitor system performance, manage startup programs, and force-close unresponsive applications with Ctrl + Shift + Esc.

Absolutely! For a smoother Windows experience, try customizing your taskbar for easy access to frequently used apps. Also, don’t forget to utilize Windows Snap for efficient multitasking. And if you ever encounter issues, remember that restarting your PC can often work wonders.
