And if you look up tech support on this, it's all unrelated nonsense tips. Even in the official sources it doesn't go much beyond turn it off/on, reset the settings, reinstall the app or reinstall the OS. While this might "solve" stuff, it doesn't fix the core issue and the issue might re-occur without a fix. Why go through all the trouble of wiping and reinstalling, if there is often a very focused and simple fix that truly solves the issue. But Microsoft has started making it harder for users to have ownership over their systems for years now. Keep your users dumb, then you can control them.
