*headdesks. headdesks so fucking hard*

i've had this new laptop for a few months. since about march, i think. and it's been beautiful, runs amazingly, great graphics, all that good stuff.

today while i'm doing stuff, it tells me there's a windows update, so it was time to restart. so i try to finish up what i'm doing and then go ahead and restart. i take a break and go to the bathroom while it does this.

when i come back and the desktop loads, something is horribly. horribly. wrong.

there are things missing from the desktop. just, you know... shortcuts, folders, that stuff. missing for some reason. and then i also notice that a couple of startup items haven't started up. and then i notice that the audio is out. and apparently so is the internet.

i grab my mom's laptop, research the internet error message because that at least is something i can pinpoint and try to fix. reinstalling programs is less of a problem: i need the computer itself to be functional.

i find some solutions. try them. and i get nothing.

the only thing i can think is wrong is that the windows update got corrupted or- something. which probably means that my last chanceis reinstalling the OS. isn't that fantastic.

ugh. JUST- UGH. IS A WORKING COMPUTER SO MUCH TO ASK FOR? I MEAN REALLY. COME ON.


*HEADDESKS HARDER*

SO. OKAY. here's what happened.

i found another solution and decided to try it. but it required going into safe mode, so i force shut down the computer in that way you're not supposed to (ehehe -__-;;) so that i'll get the option to safe mode.

but i get distracted while the computer's restarting and so it doesn't go into safe mode. i panic, so i shut it off in the middle of starting it up.

this apparently caused an error. which freaked me out.

so this window pops up and is like "we can fix it, but give me a minute or two." and i'm like "meh, sure whatever."

the computer did a system restore on itself. something i wanted to do before, but couldn't because i couldn't get to the freaking control panel.

when it starts up again, it's fine. FINE. as though NOTHING HAD HAPPENED.

I WAS SO HAPPY, I WANTED TO KILL MY LAPPY.

that is all. *rolls out*
