I tick that box a hundred times a day and can confirm it doesn't do shit (at least in my work environment).

Please run sfc /scannow. If that doesn't work, please try searching for updates or reinstalling drivers.

Haha reinstall drivers is still an official way to fix things??? 3 and a half decades in and sounds like windows still "hold my beer" and self destructs like a plastic chair left in the sun.

reboot is the only solution, followed by full reinstall which is the only solution. Or just use arch btw lol

Ps: I don't use arch but that joke is too easy to pass

He was joking, because that is the sort of "help" you actually get.

try clearing your cookies or whatever on whatever browser and sign in page for that, I need to do that every now and again and I lose my shit every time.

Sadly I think it has more to do with the way Windows handles stuff in general. My personal machine seems to have no issues, LMDE with the foxes (Firefox/LibreWolf); my work computer though, Windows with the chromes (Edge/Chrome) seems to get confused the moment their is a second profile in the browser.

All that being said, I've definitely tried clearing the cookies and just living with it.

They make a joke about it in The Boys. Which I find so extra funny. Perfect way to sell the character is tech savvy
