The pages give general information. They are not professional advice. If your data matters, ask a professional before you change anything.

Following any step is at your own risk. Some steps change the registry, boot settings, disks, services or security settings, or delete data. Back up your files before you do such a step. The authors of these pages are not liable for loss that results from using them.

If a page of this site and the Microsoft page it names differ, follow Microsoft's page. Pages change and Windows versions differ, so check the linked Microsoft page.

Each step is a short version of what a Microsoft page says, with the page named and the date it was checked. 139 of 139 units on this site passed these checks and were cleared for publishing; their pages say so with a date. No page has been read line by line by a person.

This site offers no downloads, no scans, no driver tools, no software to install and no remote help. Be careful with any site that offers to fix a Windows error by selling or installing a program. Most steps here use tools that are part of Windows. Some steps use a tool you download from Microsoft, such as the Media Creation Tool or the Sysinternals tools Process Monitor and sigcheck, or a driver from the maker of your PC or device.
