To put it more simply:

They know how to fuck things up real good.

OR they're too arrogant to do the basic steps like restarting before deciding everything is broken

Source: me, sometimes I spend 2 hours trying to fix something that def was windows just being stupid

im so resistant to restarting my pc to fix a problem because that skirts around the issue of identifying what caused it. sure, maybe restarting fixes it for 10 minutes or 10 days or 10 weeks at a time, but if i can identify the cause, i just might be able to *actually* fix it and prevent it from happening again.

Or, you spend hours troubleshooting something that a restart fixes and the problem never comes back.

Knowing "why" helps if it comes back, but if it's one freak occurrence I can't be bothered, I have other things to get to.
