For The Win+Win+Win

Rare situation where a seemingly no-win scenario is reframed, redefined and represented, usually through the adjustment of multiple rules sets, until a greater than believed solution appears whereby all parties experience a more than satisfactory outcome provided they can recognize it.

Person 1: I love two people lol my friend who’s always there for me and supports my dreams and the friend I’ve been with, lived with and paid the rent for. What do I do?
Person 2: Whoa - Two options the best and the scrub. Gnarly.
Person 1: yeah either way I’m toast.
Person 2:No way! Right now you’re toast. you carry the scrub. Scrub for the Win, and you Lose-Lose. No bueno. Trust me. Marry the best person you ever met and fuck the scrub For The Win+Win+Win. You know we wouldn’t be here if he didn’t want it, and he wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t right.

This problem was caused by Windows. This program was created by Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft Corporation does not currently have a solution for the problem that you reported.

The most common, if not the only message you will see when linking to Microsoft's "solution pages" after using the error reportingfeature

Example: When my PC couldn't play music due to a "missing audio device error" I linked to this message screen.
So I went looking on message boards for similar issue and found one. The person posted about how Microsoft had nothing.
That forum entry was posted two YEARS before.

Me: Oh cool! I can just link to Microsoft's solution page! How convenient....

Me: You've got to be kidding. Oh Cool! Windows has a built-in help program....
