Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. 🐧 Supercharge it instead🐧

14. That is seriously messed up. Some ideas.

Write down all the troubles you are having, giving the programs and failures.

The more info, the better, because an on-site visit will start with an assessment of what's there, versions and so on.
Without that info, it's like diagnosing a car, not knowing the make and model.

There are savvy people here, but the usual problem arises in the back and forth about what's there, what's working, what's not working, and the symptoms. Each problem you described has many variables.

It's really bad that nobody exists local to you, for the reasons above. There's just so much to ask, and someone otherwise can go into the computer and get a ton of important info in minutes.

Remote help is very difficult, and under no circumstances let someone you don't trust make you install "remote access" software. Too too too many scams. It really has to be a highly trusted person.

If you are having browser problems, maybe installing a different one will help.

I use macs and the default browser gets updated only when the entire system is updated, give or take some security fixes, so I use Firefox instead, and have used Opera from time to time. Firefox gets updated no matter the operating system and version, as long as it's compatible at all.
