This is StackOverflow after all. Your question is wrong. Your problem is wrong. You are wrong. I am right. Thread locked. Go read this other post that is totally unrelated to your problem I’ve decided isn’t the problem you’re facing because. I. Am. Right.

I had a decade old question marked as a duplicate and downvoted three times after years no no activity. SE is such a joke nowadays.

Could be worse. At least it's not Microsoft's support forums:

Hey, I see you're having problems with <copy-paste key words from OP>. Try the following and see if it fixes your issue.

Open a command prompt and enter ”sfc /scannow".

I hope this helps!

answers.mirosoft.com is the worst. learn.microsoft.com can be decent at times though
