Issue with Linux and I can usually find lots of detailed info with troubleshooting, recommendations etc.
Issue with Windows and all I can find are shitty answers.microsoft.com threads with bad advice and hardly any useful info.
So annoying.

@tomey HAVE YOU DONE SFC /SCANNOW ?!?! (Does nothing 99% of the time. One time it actually fucked my system. In about 10+ years of computer support and personal support I've seen it do something good, it's in the single digit)
-
@coolboymew SFC tells me that it found and repaired corrupted files but I can never tell what it actually did.
My issue is DISM fails with ERR 2 - "Could not find the file specified". For some reason this happens even when using a different /source option and/or running it from a recovery environment.
I am just being nit-picky since the machine seems fine now. Isolated and removed a bad stick of RAM. I have no idea why DISM continues to fail though. This might snowball into other issues down the road, but that's something future-tomey can deal with.
Wipe and reload is basically the only way to resolve Windows issues sometimes.

@tomey doesn't big windows refresh reinstall the system pretty much? Wouldn't most issues be normally fixed every refresh?
-
@coolboymew yeah i believe so. i will stop worrying about this machine unless the user reports a new issue.
-
@tomey not much you can do in these situations I'm afraid
-
@tomey I'm not sure about 10 and above, but in my experience, Windows just kinda shits itself at some point and becomes bloat incarnate, and there's no other solutions but to wipe it anew. It's inevitable
-
@coolboymew @tomey I think it's become such an issue i think that's why WIn 10 implemented a reset feature integrated into the OS. I haven't had to do mine yet on this machine luckily.
-
@ooignignoktoo @coolboymew Windows 10 is annoying but I feel like this Windows XP issue i will be looking at on Friday will be even worse.
Yes, I have XP machines at work. They aren't allowed on the network for obvious reasons but they're also not going away any time soon.

@coolboymew @tomey chirping in, to say nope: it's the exact same shit on 11.
Your Bluetooth user services somehow managed to mess up after manually having stopped them, and just need to restore the service to its former uncorrupted state, or perhaps just need to make the driver communicate with this service once more?
"haii I'm Joe Biden the Microsoft MVP from a place one can't even try to pronounce. have you tried rebooting? no worky? do these 50 steps you've already done a billion times that somehow take hours to finish that clearly won't work. oh it doesn't work? reinstall"
