Is that where the orange colour comes from?

It's \ instead of /

Most stuff you can find answers on YouTube.

Windows key + R to run a command easily. (cmd for example is a bit like terminal.)

Eventvwr.msc is like your syslog I think. Most problems will show up there, even if they're not problems at all. (common place to send scam targets as it looks scary.)

Services.msc to see what's running in the background. (like systemctl I think, not sure.)

Task manager - Startup tab to turn off rubbish.

Msconfig as an easy way to see services, hiding Microsoft services, or to select safe mode etc.

Rstrui to bring up system restore - works sometimes if a machine is kaput.

Regedit in rare cases - a chonky place where most app and system settings live.

File sharing - need to share the files through the usual file sharing option, but also need to change folder permissions. If only one is changed, it won't let you. Also 'control panel' network and sharing centre, advanced sharing settings, you can turn off password protected sharing for ease, but Microsoft periodically turns it back on.

Hope that helps a bit. Source: residential IT support for 20 years on Windows / Mac. Debian dabbler.

On Facebook I am the group admin for our small town's main group.

WhatsApp for work stuff.

Sounds a bit like Rustdesk. I'm happily hosting a relay on my VPS but the 'account' features don't work for the free version. I just keep them in a note instead.

Isn't that pretty close to a line from Idiocracy where to silence problems some company buys the FCC?

Maybe you could build a wooden bicycle.

Thanks Broadfern. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Get over this stupid respiratory bug and do some work on the Kingswood.
