Windows Shit Hurdle

Any of a number of Windows issues that must be addressed prior to executing the one simple task you logged onto the PC for in the first place.
I logged onto my work PC on my day off just to issue a simple instruction, but first I had to spend 20 minutes clearing the Windows shit hurdles.

Shut the french windows

A phrase used not as a substitute for 'Shut the fuck up"

Activate Windows Watermark Removal

Launch the Notepad application and create a new, blank note.
Copy and paste the following block of text into your Notepad

@echo off
taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
explorer.exe
exit

Go to File, then click on Save as. Name the file Activation.bat and change the file format to All files.

Choose the location where the file becomes easily reachable, and click the Save button. I recommend saving files like this on your Desktop to maximize accessibility.

Right-click on the file and choose Run as administrator. If you don’t have this option, you’re not signed into an account with admin permissions.

Restart your device and enjoy life without watermarks!

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....

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.

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