Windows Troubleshooting, Errors & Update Problems

Blue screens, failed updates, broken printers, Wi-Fi drops, missing drivers and setup problems.

What you're seeing

Does this sound like your computer?

  • Blue screen crashes or unexpected restarts.
  • Updates that fail repeatedly or roll back.
  • Printer, Wi-Fi, audio or Bluetooth that stopped working.
  • A new machine that needs setting up and files brought across.

Common possible causes

These are the usual suspects, not a remote diagnosis — the only way to know which applies to your machine is to test it.

  • Corrupted system files or a broken update
  • Driver conflicts after an update
  • Failing hardware producing software-looking symptoms
  • Account, profile or permission problems
The approach

How Nick handles it

  1. 1Hardware is ruled out before long software work begins, because crashes often have a physical cause.
  2. 2Repairs are attempted before a reinstall, and your data is protected first either way.
Time and cost

What affects your quote

  • Whether a repair or a reinstall is needed
  • Whether data has to be backed up and restored

Estimates are free

No flat prices are published for this work because an honest number depends on the diagnosis and the parts. You get the price before anything happens. Pickup or drop-off is arranged directly when you call or text.
