Uhh, that should go into the pet peeve thread as well

Post as much information about the issue you want help with as you can.
People cannot read minds, even here

- Name the device or software your question is about. If possible the exact version.
Software and Hardware versions can differ greatly. With software, many known issues can be fixed with updates.
- Quote any error messages you get. And quote them exactly as you get them. Pro-Tip: In Windows, on many (sadly not all) error messages, hit CRTL-C on the message box to get the contents into the clipboard, ready to paste. On recent Windows 10 (i think 20H1 and higher) hit Windows-Shift-S to start the snipping tool. Or hit ALT-PrintScreen to screenshot your current window.
The Error message details, if available, are important
- List what you already have done or researched. If you followed any online guides, link them.
If you do not want the helpers to repeat the most basic troubleshooting steps, you have to list what you have done already. It's generally fine if you have not done anything yet, but tell us.
This should be included in *any* post seeking help. I have posted lists similar to this, or have seen them, in many many forums that allow help questions. This is, i my opinion, just basic decency, to not waste the time of the helpers, and your own as well.
I do not know if people are afraid to post such information to protect from potential identification, or if people think that no one knows the device anyway. Or, and i am afraid that this is actually the most likely, if people are just too lazy.[/list]
