Windows/PC Specialists - NO Mac Support

We focus exclusively on Windows. This isn't a limitation - it's why we're so good at fixing Windows problems. We know every version's quirks, every cryptic error code, every update gotcha.

Windows Problems We Fix

We've been fixing Windows since XP. We've seen every error, every crash, every "something went wrong."

🔄

Windows Update Nightmares

Stuck at "Preparing to configure Windows" for hours? Failed updates breaking other things? Caught in an update loop that never ends? We untangle Windows Update mess and get you back to work.

💀

Blue Screen of Death

Those cryptic STOP codes and random crashes mid-work. KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR, CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - we decode the error, fix the root cause, and prevent future blue screens.

🐌

Painfully Slow Performance

"It used to be fast!" We identify what's hogging your resources - bloatware from the manufacturer, too many startup programs, background processes gone wild, or failing hardware masquerading as slowness.

⚠️

Mysterious Error Messages

"Something went wrong" isn't helpful. Neither is "Error 0x80070005." We decode cryptic Windows error messages, track down the actual cause, and fix it so you can stop Googling error codes.

⚙️

Driver Conflicts & Issues

New hardware not recognized? Devices disappearing from Device Manager? Yellow exclamation marks everywhere? We sort out driver problems and get your hardware working properly.

📁

Corrupted System Files

Windows acting weird after a crash, forced shutdown, or bad update? Random freezes, apps that won't open, settings that won't stick? We repair corrupted system files without losing your data.

Quick Fixes You Can Try First

Before you call, try these. We're not trying to talk ourselves out of business - sometimes the simple stuff works.

Restart Properly (No, Really)

80% of Windows weirdness fixes itself with a proper restart. Click Start > Power, then hold Shift while clicking Restart. This performs a "clean" restart that clears cached drivers and temporary files.

Run the Built-in Troubleshooters

Windows has troubleshooters for most common problems. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot. They work about 30% of the time - worth a shot before calling.

Check for Updates (Seriously)

Sometimes a stuck update just needs a nudge. Settings > Update & Security > Check for updates. If an update has been "pending" forever, this often kicks it loose.

Safe Mode for the Stubborn Stuff

If Windows won't start normally, Safe Mode often works. Interrupt the boot process 3 times in a row (power off during startup) to trigger Windows Recovery Options.

Still stuck? That's what we're here for. Some problems need hands-on expertise and diagnostic tools you don't have at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our standard rate is $75 per hour during business hours, $125/hour after 6PM and weekends. Most Windows issues are resolved in 1-2 hours. We never charge for time spent explaining what we did - that's included.

Rarely. Reinstalling Windows is the nuclear option - you lose your settings, have to reinstall all your programs, and sometimes lose data. We exhaust every other solution first. In the few cases where reinstall IS the best option, we handle it and help restore your files and programs.

Usually it's a corrupted update file, not enough disk space, a conflicting program, or a background service that's hung. We identify the specific cause and fix it without losing your data or wasting hours on trial-and-error.

In about 95% of cases, yes. Data preservation is our priority. For the rare cases where files are at risk, we'll tell you upfront and discuss backup options before we touch anything.

Yes! We support Windows Server 2012 and later for small business environments. Active Directory issues, Group Policy problems, server performance, user management - we handle business Windows infrastructure.

Those "stop codes" tell us exactly what failed. They look like gibberish (CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED, KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) but they're actually helpful clues. Each one points to a specific type of failure we know how to fix.

If it's been stuck for more than 2-3 hours with no disk activity (the hard drive light isn't blinking), it's probably safe - but there's a right way to do it. Force-shutting down mid-update can corrupt system files. Call us first if you're unsure.
