How to tell whether your PC is really frozen on the Restarting screen, power it off without corrupting anything, and repair it from the Windows recovery menu.

Wi-Fi shows connected but nothing loads. Work through the router, the sign-in page, Private DNS, VPN apps and router blocks in the order that finds it.

Headphones or a mouse that will not pair on Windows 11? Work through Microsoft's own checks in order, from airplane mode to a full driver reinstall.

Chrome crashing on a PC or a phone? Work through memory, extensions, graphics acceleration, low storage and a damaged profile in the order that fixes it.

Chrome dragging on Windows 11 is usually memory pressure, a throttled power mode, or a stale GPU driver. Here is how to tell which one in minutes.

A dead touchpad is usually a toggle, a connected mouse, or a driver. Check the Windows 11 Touchpad page first, then restart properly and reinstall the driver.
