      Your comment cheered me up and reminded me of pleasant memories of how in childhood the three of us (my two older brothers and I) played the same game together. Like Harry Potter for example (yes, I'm very ancient). It was a lot of fun, as we were constantly stuck in some place, but at least one of us could kill an unkillable boss or could pass an impenetrable place))) Such nostalgia flooded. Now we live in completely different places, I live in the south of the country, and one of my brothers is in the capital, and the other is now abroad. Ah, childhood was wonderful. And so I was left alone with all the bosses both in games and in life)) And it was so cool to call for help from older brothers, there were such great times)

    The steps for troubleshooting a specific computer issue typically involve the following:
    1. Identify the specific problem - Determine exactly what the issue is that you are experiencing.
    2. Break down large problems into smaller ones to make them more manageable.
    3. Consider the scope of the problem and who or what is affected.
    4. Ask the right questions to quickly discover the root problem.
    5. Document the troubleshooting process, including both successful and unsuccessful fixes, for future reference.
    These steps are part of a structured troubleshooting approach that can help you effectively address and resolve computer problems.
