Me: Googling solutions as to why I can't get RDR2 to start or GTA IV to not run like shit.
100 AI-written clickbait shit articles: lol have you tried SFC /scannow and fixing your clock.
I was under the impression that getting GTA IV to not run like shit is impossible
In case it's helpful to someone, RDR2 wanted to access the save files in My Documents that OneDrive needed to be running to sync properly.
Got no idea on GTA IV though, dxvk and FusionFix have failed to help me so far.
Sounds like you should uninstall OneDrive then
How did that become such a popular recommendation?
Windows reps on the main support site replied with SFC /scannow to basically any topic they didn't know how to fix.
It does actually occasionally really fix some shit though.
If you can't open a Windows critical app like start or options or the task bar it's usually the answer. On very rare occasion it can help with peripherals, but it should always be accompanied by system updates and dism

Well wrong clock causes all kinds of problems. As a system administrator it is one of the first things to check. Computers love to be in sync
LLMs probably amalgamating and spewing common elements of real articles for multiple titles.
sfc /scannow sometimes do fix some problems oddly enough
a little while ago i got rid of a recurring unexpected_store_exception bsod by repairing system files, but i had to use Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth in powershell because sfc /scannow wasnt able to repair the corrupted files by itself
Pretty sure rebooting is more likely to help
sfc /scannow is to fix your Windows if it has corrupted files.
Rebooting doesn't, but it will reload all the files in your memory from scratch again, making it less prone to problems.
But if the problems are that the files itself are corrupted, then rebooting will not help.
Pssshh, I install new ram everytime I reboot. What now
