Microsoft suggests switching it off and on again… 15 times

Microsoft has suggested a fix on its website, external – and it’s a solution many office workers will be familiar with: “Have you tried switching it off and on again?”

That’s what Microsoft says has worked for some users of virtual machines – PCs where the computer is not in the same place as the screen.

Microsoft says: “Several reboots (as many as 15 have been reported) may be required, but overall feedback is that reboots are an effective troubleshooting step at this stage.”

It has also suggested deleting a certain file - the same solution some Crowdstrike employees have been giving on social media.
