I’m the tech guy in my family, which means I’m usually the one getting the call when something “isn’t working right.” Over the years, I’ve learned that half the battle isn’t fixing the problem, it’s figuring out what’s actually going on in the first place. Windows gives you plenty of tools, but they’re scattered, simplified, or buried behind menus that don’t always tell the full story. That’s a big part of why I’ve leaned so heavily on PowerShell, and why I’ve written before about commands and built-in tools you should try before jumping straight to a full reinstall.
