What's a sensible first step?
General tech support checklist (not specific advice for this thread):
- Write down the exact error message, device/OS version, and what changed just before it started.
- Restart, update the OS/drivers/app, and test in safe mode or a fresh user profile to isolate the cause.
- Back up important data before trying invasive fixes.
