Windows is already the most widely used computer operating system in the world, and its position in daily office use is self-evident. However, Windows malfunctions are a very common occurrence. I once suspected that I had a pair of “magic hands”, and using the Windows system nine out of ten times would cause some inexplicable malfunctions. I have to foolishly reinstall the Windows system every time to solve it. Later, with my accumulated work experience, I gradually learned some common troubleshooting solutions that do not require reinstalling the Windows system.
Common faults

Please go to the official website channel to download and install the corresponding components. Do not download components from other unofficial channels as they may be bundled with other promotional software.
Priority should be given to using the Windows 10 system’s “troubleshooting” feature for automated troubleshooting.
Priority should be given to using the Windows 10 system “recovery” function for system reset. There is nothing that cannot be solved by reinstalling the system. If there is, then reinstall twice.
If a solution to the problem cannot be found in the search engine, priority should be given to Microsoft Community for feedback, and there will be dedicated technical support engineers to answer the questions. (Basic daily response)
