In the past, when the only Microsoft operating system was Windows XP, if some error came out on the system, even the silliest one, it was a serious problem and you didn't really know what to do. Meanwhile, there were far fewer websites to ask for help, and then, above all, Microsoft had not provided any support except technical guides difficult to understand for almost everyone and not very resolutive.
A normal person, who is not a computer technician, has very little interest in knowing why the error occurred; instead, he would like an immediate and practical solution to the problem .
In the end, either the more experienced friend would solve it or it would format and start again.
Fortunately, today, not only does Microsoft provide all the tools to correct Windows errors and solve PC problems in a semi-automatic way, but there are also several other automatic programs and tools that can bring Windows back to work correctly in all its aspects.
