If I’ve been a bit quiet earlier today it is because I have been going through computer hell...🔥 👿 🔥 💻 🔥 😭 😂
Yesterday my laptop refused to connect to the Internet, even though my Wi-Fi was working. I decided I would devote Saturday morning to trying to figure out what the problem was.
So today I was going to get online using my phone to find a solution to my laptop problem and discovered the phone battery was almost drained and I had left the charger to my phone at work! (It is a new phone and of course they changed the shape of the charge connector; consequently, the numerous chargers I have at home don’t work with it! 😳)
So I had to hook up an old tablet that has a keyboard so I could get on the Internet and try to find a solution to my problem. And of course since I hadn’t used that tablet in a long time, I had to wait for all the updates to install before I could use it.
(I hate all those little spinning circles from hell that appear on your screen as you are waiting for the updates to install! 😡)
After I was finally online, I looked up various solutions to my problem, and tried a number of them including restoring my system to an earlier time but nothing worked.
So I finally had to reinstall Windows, which pretty much wiped out all my settings and many of my apps (although the reinstall preserved my personal files).
I’m still downloading applications but I thought I’d pause the purgatory of download/setup (which is not quite as bad as troubleshooting hell) and bitch about this whole process.
On the positive side, reinstalling Windows probably cleaned up my registry and any malware that my virus protection programs might have missed. So hopefully everything will run smoother now.
Still, I really hate it when the whole operating system has to be reinstalled!
