Obscure IT fixes. Real world solutions.
A troubleshooting notebook for Windows issues, Microsoft problems, browser bugs, Synology oddities, homelab repairs, AI tools, hardware notes, and fixes that were hard to find anywhere else.
Repair log
> symptom: weird edge case
> tried: the obvious things
> result: one thing finally worked
This worked for me. This did not fix it. Not fully solved yet, but here is what I know.
What worked
Direct notes on the fix, the setting, the command, the driver, or the workaround that actually changed the result.
What failed
Dead ends are part of the archive, because knowing what did not fix it can save someone else an hour.
What is still unknown
Some problems are not fully solved. Those notes still belong here when the trail is useful.
