Hi. Microsoft employee here. That's happening because we don't give a shit and we are being replaced by folks from India

I hope you're having an amazing day! I am a windows fan and user, just like YOU! I will do my very best to help you solve your issue. I know you have had a bad experience and it must have been very hard for you. But rest assured, i will help you to the BEST of my ability!

Please try running the troubleshooter.

(troubleshooter doesn't fix anything)

Try reinstalling windows. Goodbye!

And then they fuck off and stop reponding.

This is every forum response on MS forums, it’s infuriating.

“I have super specific error code with super specific driver that was changed with super specific windows update.”

“Me too!”

“Same, here’s some more info from event viewer”

“Maybe try uninstalling the device”

“Uninstall my WiFi card?”

“Hi I’m bob from Microsoft you should run sfc scan now and that will fix it”

“That didn’t fix it”

“Ok here’s how to reinstall windows”

It's better than the Linux Mint support forums that blocks VPN users and the power users just deny that they're blocking VPN users.
