@steve_gibe ended up uninstalling and reinstalling and tada, it worked 🤣 #turnitoffandonagain

Hello fellow #geeks

So my son's laptop wasn't powering on at school, but was fine at home (it really only moves between home and there).

After much troubleshooting I took it to a repair place. Specifically said I thought the issue was with the power plug (ie not powering on when unplugged after sitting on battery for a while).

It comes back with the assurance that it was the power settings in windows and allegedly there was a virus he got rid of.

Took it down to the school for a test run today... it didn't power on!

In sheer desperate desperation I convinced my son to grab his power cord and plug it into the laptop. We stayed in the car, no power plugs available.

The damn thing actually turned on!!

Has anyone else ever experienced this issue? It is bizarre!!

Turns out it’s the ‘MacOS suddenly decides it doesn’t want to see USB bug’ - Again!

I love this!
I have 3 identical servers, same firmware, freshly installed Windows Server 2019 with matching drivers and Windows Updates.
Two run great and one runs like it’s in slow motion.
I bet a reboot fixes it even though it won’t explain it.

Fixed! I had to update and restart my smart TV. 🤦‍♀️ #turnitoffandonagain
