  • 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. Regards

  • 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!
  • @lew_lew4945
    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!
  • @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.

  • @beahaven
    Such a great video. Watched this one again after your recent one on Creating a Restore Point.
  • @stevejarvis186
    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
  • @chihchang857
    Love that the video gets straight to the point! Hoping this will help with the constant reload on my home screen.
  • @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
  • @pc-doctor1416
    One reoccurring problem I often come across on clients computers is a failing hard drive. It's more complicated to diagnose but I boot the computer with a Hirens USB boot drive and use CrystalDisk info. There is no point in repairing a failing drive plus with Hirens you can mount and external hard drive to back up your data. Conversely the disk cloning program to "image" the faulty drive to a new drive which can then be repaired.
  • @craigtegeler4677
    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!!!
  • @yuvalru
