Re: I screwed up my computer, help You can both stop and disable a Windows service. I believe stop is until the system is restarted, disabled is until you re-enable it.  But I'm not 100% on this, it's possible stop does roughly the same thing. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/p

Re: I screwed up my computer, help Explorer will come back at a restart.  In general, I'm guessing it wasn't the process being killed.  It would be hard--not impossible, but hard--to break the machine permanently by killing a process with task manager.  That said, if reinst

Re: I screwed up my computer, help I've killedv my File Explorer and nothing even remotely close to this has ever happened to me. If it consistantly happens, maybe try to narrow down at what point it stops happening, and what's going on at that time. URL: https://forum.audiogame
