I have this exact problem.
Edit: nvm, found the solution
You’re just the worst, you know that?
Found the answer to this here

MSDN TechNet has been retired and this article no longer exists. The following links have related information:
The moment I find something even remotely useful for a problem I faced and solved, I am saving it on the Internet Archive.
And I try to not be DenverCoder9Source
Thank you for your service o7
I rely on Internet archive a hell of a lot
Hate it when I search an issue and the only other person with the same problem is me 5 years ago and I didn’t figure it out then either.
I think it’s worse when they say they found a solution and include a link which is now dead.
With Google dropping its archive I feel like dead links are going to be more and more common.
Even worse in my opinion is when you find someone who had the same problem as you and the only person who replies says “use google.” It’s like that’s how I got to this page!
I hate the ones that are just “open a case” and then they close the thread without saying what the fix ended up being, looking at you Veeam forums.
So many of my searches lead to Microsoft forums where my exact issue is posted, MS asks for more information, then some auto-mod closes the issue because there wasn’t any further follow up and they can’t replicate it.
And it always marks the damn “thank you for contacting Microsoft” post as “the answer”
Every. Damn. Time.
“I’ll upload a patch later this week” 12 years ago
aww you beat me to it.
More like when you Google and half the solutions you find contradict themselves, with some of the responses to the solutions discussing the dangers.
So so so much worse when the comment is deleted and OP replies “thanks!”
OP: “Nevermind, I figured it out on my own. Thanks anyway.” and doesn’t share what they did drives me up the wall.
I find it more frustrating when someone has already had the issue and received an answer, but unfortunately the solution is a link to a Microsoft forum that no longer exists.
But have you tried askjeeves?
Or: Plenty of people have the problem, but nobody has figured it out.
And: Stack Overflow agrees that this is a dumb thing to want to do, anyway.
Or it’s a bug that was reported 5 years ago with 165 votes and somehow still not fixed

This is currently happening to me and I hate it.
Something between linux kernel 6.2 (working) and 6.7 (broken) and all I have at best is a generic warning message that yields just a few results and all are unrelated.
Im finding this more prevalent now as ai can answer a lot of the questions hence other people are getting solutions without the need to ask. Then my ai has problems cos it googles the answer and has to make shit up and idk if its hallucinating or not.
My favorite is when you Google a problem and many, many people have the same problem but the company has never provided a solution.
Just post that the answer is simple:
can (root; split) for - 1 =sam if (all “null”) then (n = n+1)
Watch the rage answers roll in.
Kinda relevant XKCD
thought about it, too!
(and… not sure if it’s Jerboa, but the image appears emoji-sized to me. a bite-sized comic, hehe)
Hah… I used to search up an issue and see my own unanswered question on reddit as the first result. ಠ_ಠ
They had the answer on Yahoo! Answers. 😢
Any one else getting this crash? Edit: Don’t worry guys I fixed it
I’ve had that happen to me in a couple of pretty obscure cases, fuck it’s irritating. “WHAT SECRET KNOWLEDGE DO YOU HOLD, YOU FUCK‽ TELL US”
