Basic IT Issues & How to Troubleshoot Them

Basic IT Issues & How to Troubleshoot Them

Let’s face it—tech glitches are the modern-day equivalent of spilled coffee. They’re annoying, unpredictable, and always seem to happen when you’re on a deadline. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to be a tech wizard to fix most of them. This guide walks you through everyday IT issues with simple steps and a futuristic mindset. Ready to troubleshoot like a pro?

🚀 1. PC Is Slow

  • Hit Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager—think of it as your digital control room.
  • Run Disk Cleanup or activate Storage Sense to clear out digital clutter.
  • Disable startup apps that sneak in every time you boot up. Less baggage = faster performance.

📡 2. No Internet Connection

  • Check your Wi-Fi signal or cables. Sometimes it’s just a loose plug!
  • Open Command Prompt and type:
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    ipconfig /flushdns
  • Restart your modem/router and PC. It’s like giving your network a fresh start.

🛠️ 3. App Not Responding or Crashing

  • Use Task Manager to end the app—it’s your emergency exit.
  • Update or reinstall the app. New versions often fix old bugs.
  • Try compatibility mode if the app feels like it belongs in 2010.

💥 4. Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)

  • Note the error code—it’s your clue to what went wrong.
  • Update drivers and Windows. Outdated software is a common culprit.
  • Run a full antivirus scan. Malware loves to crash parties.

🔐 5. Can't Log In

  • Double-check your credentials. Typos happen to the best of us.
  • Boot into Safe Mode to bypass potential login blockers.
  • If you're on a work network, make sure the domain is reachable.

🔄 6. Windows Update Issues

  • Run the Windows Troubleshooter—it’s like a built-in tech assistant.
  • Clear the update cache with these commands:
    net stop wuauserv
    net stop bits
    del C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\* /s /q
    net start wuauserv
    net start bits
