Even the Dimdows Update mechanism -- you know, the one that automatically puts stuff on your machine that you don’t want -- is another major source of things that can go wrong. This article <https://www.computerworld.com/article/1613310/how-to-troubleshoot-and-reset-windows-update.html> suggests some things to try if the updater gives trouble (how would you tell?). And boy, don’t those suggestions get progressively nuttier. The final one (or at least, the final thing to try before giving up and taking your machine to someone who knows what they’re doing), a “complete reset”, involves downloading and running some random batch file off the Internet, which does all kinds of things to your system that you don’t really want to know about, just trust the folks who wrote the script, OK?
