We use Windows 11 at work. One of the desktops has an error where you can log in but windows displays a notification to the effect of “You’re not logged in, your settings and app preference aren’t available.”

Other than Edge most of the built in programs don’t work. No errors, no notifications – clicking the icon to open them does nothing. Notepad, file explorer, etc.

I wonder how many people don’t realize thermal throttling is likely contributor to their old laptop slowing down.

The occasionally blast of compressed air and replacing the 6 year old dried out thermal paste does wonders.
