What in the actual **bleep** happened to my windows 10?
I'm completely baffled by what happened to my Windows 10 system, as it suddenly stopped functioning the way it used to. Everything feels broken and unpredictable, with issues like losing the ability to create new shortcuts, random network resets, and other strange behaviors that make me question if my OS has been hijacked or corrupted beyond repair.
