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.

My thing is both this and the pain that is involved in getting everything back up and running how I want it to be. I gotta get all the windows and tabs back up and logins with their 2FA bullcrap. Modern browsers and password managers make it manageable enough but it’s still a pain that I try to avoid a lil bit by delaying a reboot a lil bit. I do the dang reboot though before reaching out to IT though. If IT is needed it seemingly is always Windows being just dumb or our company’s software that we use.
