Rob Tidrow, Jim Boyce, Jeffrey R. Shapiro · 2017
This chapter discusses the components of the computer and addresses some common problems and their solutions. It provides information for troubleshooting Bluetooth connectivity and general performance issues. Whenever user has a hardware problem that's causing a device to misbehave or not work at all, finding an updated driver is usually the best bet. The biggest problem with hardware errors is that even a tiny error can have seemingly catastrophic results, such as suddenly shutting down the system and making a restart difficult. Clean booting can help with software problems that prevent the computer from starting normally or cause frequent errors. For more severe problems that require repairing an existing Windows 10 installation, troubleshooting startup issues, performing system and complete PC restoration, using the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool, or getting to a command prompt, user need to use the System Recovery Options.
