Not the BIOS

So it goes into Windows, but not into user accounts

Alright, that does eliminate startup programs

It eventually does it just takes fucking ages

It's probably just windows building up lots of junk files

I don't have the patience for a full reinstall though far too much to reinstall

And I'd lose lots of things I will inevitably forget about entirely

This didn't happen after an update, did it?

No it's acted like this ever since I installed windows

It's probably a bad driver

Odd

It amuses me to no end how I have less hassle with fucking Linux

Still loading

Does it eventially get there tho?

I have yet to use a Linux distro I considered remotely useful

Simply put, nothing worked

T R I G G E R E D

I had that issue before after an update. I had to start in safe mode and attempt various drivers. But when that didnt work. I had to reinstall windows via the safe screen

What makes stuff like that so annoying is that it seems that there are a billion and one things that can cause it and Windows gives you no fucking feedback

When it happened to mine the web basically said 4 to 5 drivers and the update possibly clash. Full reinstall cleared that.

I attempted the drivers first naturally. But no avail so doubt that was the actual issue

I've been doing some googling in the past 5 minutes and I have found multiple potential causes. USB devices, Windows updates, drivers

Want to install drivers? Problem. Want to install programs? Problem. Want to change system settings? Problem. You spend 95% of your time copy pasting commands off of ubuntu forums because literally nothing works without a hitch, there is inevitably a missing something or other or you got version 192.2853.3535 and you need 192.2853.3536, shit like that

It doesn't just work

Whenever you're troubleshooting Windows you're always stumbling around in the dark

Thats only gotten worse as new versions come

Oh yes

No because there is very little to troubleshoot and it's always a matter of clicking next a few times

I used to be able to fix most issues from 7 back

7 was the last acceptable Windows

After that micro has made it less end user friendly for tech fixes

If you ever do decide to give Linux another shot in the future, worry less about the distro and more about the desktop environment. That's what's responsible for the user interface and other UX stuff, and it is *not* tied to the distro in most cases

I havent fucked with linux in a long time

Debated it again. Cause 10 is insufferable

KDE is incredibly nice now

It used to be one of my least favorite DEs, now it's my favorite by far. The dev team must have been assassinated and replaced or something

The only fear with linux atm is the possible pull out.

It won't happen

@radeon it would verify whether its software fuckery or broken hardware <:what:382980756139409409>

windows elitism doesn't help you fix your pc lad
