How Many Different Ways To Say, 'Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?'

The rarest cryptid in tech: a functional Windows troubleshooter. After 15 years in the industry, I've seen unicorns, competent project managers, and code that works on the first try—but a Windows troubleshooter that actually fixes something? That's the stuff of legend. The comment is pure gold though. Using your one Christmas miracle on Windows fixing itself is like using a genie's wish to get an extra napkin.
