This sort of content is why I subscribed. So well presented and to the point information. Thank you for that.

Thanks for all of your videos, I'm not a computer tech, but not an absolute n00b either, so it's good to learn many things and reaffirm that the things that i do know are the right things to do.
Keep it up, I need guys like you IRL and here, thanks.

Thank you for another informative video. Feel a lot more confident to deal with any future Windows issues due to this content. I have also previously created a bootable windows USB and backed up my files using your other excellent videos. Appreciate you sharing your expertise.

[lew_lew]

Thank you so much, been stuck on this for ages and I’ve watched other videos that couldn’t help but this helped and fixed my issue straight away!

[ishaanmalhotra]

I had a bsod restart loop going on in my hp laptop, with the message Acpi bios error. The sfc scannow command fixed it! Thanks a lot!

[chihchang]

Love that the video gets straight to the point! Hoping this will help with the constant reload on my home screen.

[franknelalde]

Thank you so much! You really saved my day! I tried startup settings and it worked!

[KevinNudge]

Thanks for all these answers man im on windows 11 and this is very helpful you just earned a new subscriber lol😊

[Raxobrown]

Thank you so much you actually taught me something new that i never realized that I'll run successfully and it's my first time using a laptop computer by bypassing this troubleshooting process. But actually i used on unblocking phone problem software updates plus it's been months doing this and I'm not that professional but still experiencing this technology technic problems.

[Garygeomas]

You seem awesome, I wish i knew about this channel when I had some computer problems, thanks for replying to like all the commenters that have questions, it’s rare to see someone doing that

Fantastic video and thanks for posting this interesting stuff, I've made notes and filed elsewhere off my PC for when I next have that issue. One thing though on restore points, going back many years through OS 10, 8.1, 8, XP etc etc, I have never yet gone to Restore and have it complete the restore, every single time I've ever tried that all I have ever gotten is Windows failed to restore! Also I wonder if one day you might do a video on something we can do to improve the abysmal transfer speeds on Win 10, I've never known it where you get speeds in kbps and seem to remember in past OS`s it being much much higher. Is there a utility or something we can do to speed up transfer speeds? Cheers from the UK

[TRD_Mike]

Wow, this was full of helpful advice with good information, thank you.

[manueldelgado]

3rd video that I watched, after 20 seconds I fix the problem, thanks!

I'm a Linux user and I wouldn't say 'Just use Linux' because, frankly, if someone can't troubleshoot Windows, they'll have one heck of a time trying to troubleshoot Linux!

[craigtegeler]

Great job AYCG! Great sequential troubleshooting video that should be the proper guide! I'd have
to say that this video is most helpful if there ever is/was going forward! Well now, do you think
that Microsmarts would properly layout a repair process that is geared towards the more friendly
user experience when attempting to facilitate such repairs?? Hell NO!!!

[ifeanyichukwuezi]

Your careful detail explanation helped me, thanks.

Very grateful.

[beahaven]

Such a great video. Watched this one again after your recent one on Creating a Restore Point.

[dylanstewar]
