I thought my use of a winking smiley

would be a dead giveaway that my previous post was partially a joke. Guess not.

But the joke is based on some truth in Microsoft suggestions ... they want you to reinstall the OS far too often. I was making fun of their typical suggestion, not actually proposing it. The fact that they actual DO make idiotic suggestions like this is one of the big reasons I abandoned Windows a decade ago. "You should reinstall the OS" is Microsofts way of getting you off the phone and out of their hair.
Note use of sarcasm smiley (rolling eyes) this time, indicating yet another joke.
p.s. - It is still very relevant to "restart the program", and if needed "restart Windows". This OS is quite convoluted and fragile, and typically needs frequent restarts to keep it in line.
